The Humanitarian Dictator Quotes

“We, on the spectrum, are often misconstrued as rude or audacious. Problem is not that we feel too little, but that we feel too crippling much. Sensory overload is our biggest struggle, an eternal battle against daily situations. Storms that the normals experience only in tragedy, are our life’s everyday occurrence.”

“Over the past few years one change has taken over my writing. It's that I no longer write from thought. Almost everything I write today is the result of subconscious grinding. In fact, these days I make it a point to not write from thought, particularly because things written from thought never quite embody the magic of my naturally flowing spring of words. Initially my writings contained occasional natural gems, bridged by materials from thought, particularly my early works of prose. But nowadays, it's like some invisible force does the actual writing - the complete writing, I only take dictations. Perhaps I've gotten lazy, or perhaps the outside has gotten lazy, for the inside has come alive. The thinker has given in, for the seer has come alive. This ain't mysticism, just the genius of nature. I ain't a mystic, just nature at its peak.”

“Bugün Adım Mejnun, Şiir Çocukken bana sordular, büyüdüğünde ne olmak istiyorsun? İyi bir insan, dedi o deli çocuk. Büyüdüm bugün, çünkü adım İnsan. Büyüdüğümde bana sordular, manyak mısın, neden bu kadar çok savaşıyorsun? Evet manyağım, kâinat Leyla'm benim, çünkü bugün adım Mejnun. Deliliksız insanlık yok, orman gibi bencil dünyada. Köktendinci hayvanların ortasında, şair savaşçıyım ben, bugün adım Mevlana.”

“Don't Hide Your Past (The Sonnet) The first few minutes of my first stage talk were absolute disaster. First few books were mere intellectual commentary, lacking in original Naskar. Don't beat yourself up for the follies of your early years. Doesn't matter, you made mistakes, what counts is, you outgrew your errors. If a life claims a flawless history, rest assured, it's a concoction of lies. Flawlessness is mark of lifelessness, to be alive means to be battered by cries. Mistakes are the cornerstones of clarity, they wire your unique perception in place. Absence of error is the end of living sanity, to fabricate your past is to obliterate yourself.”
