The Shape of A Human: Our America Their America Quotes

“Those who are arrogant about their pedigree, about their culture, about their intellect, I have no business with them, give me the humble janitor, give me the illiterate construction worker, give me the dropout waitress - the humble soul will find me in their own heart, but the arrogant will argue their whole life and never understand what I am all about, what humanity is all about - it's about community, it's about listening, it's about letting go of one's self-obsessed identity to become one with humanity.”

“Healers Don’t Exist (The Sonnet) Healers don't exist, Only humans do. Once you step outside the self, You'll see the world anew. Gods don't exist, Only goodness does. Prayers may soothe your soul, Action is what change requires. Psychics don't exist, But sanctity is everywhere. Once you stop conning your soul, The bridge ahead will vividly appear. When the heart awakens from superstition, Everybody will be hometown human.”

“Child of Earth (The Sonnet) Walk, walk, walk ahead, O brave child of earth. Let no fear shackle your feet, Selflessness paves all path. Meditate on unity, Dedicate to inclusion. Educate your soul, Be free from self-absorption. Forget gender, religion and ideology, Abolish all chains of tribalism. Place people at your heart's altar, One dream, one mission – universalism. Shallow and separated we can stay no more. We must break ourselves to let light outpour.”

“My Compatriots (The Sonnet) Any compatriot of mine, Better have a grasp of prejudice. Arrogance sickens my soul, My heart revolts at the snobbish. Doubts can be healthy, But only if driven by curiosity. When driven by contempt, They only facilitate animosity. You don't have to agree, With the whole of my notion. But don't turn bitter my friend, For it is a trap of degradation. Logic may fail sometimes as well as sentiments. Never you lose o patriot your indivisible humanness.”
