With Love From A Blue Rock Quotes

“I am the warfare (A Very Naskar Sonnet, 2698) My brain is the planet's largest organic manufacturing plant of multiculturalism, so don't, I beg you, don't trigger me too much, because once the hate crosses my threshold, I won't hate you back, instead, I will inject your language, your culture into my bloodstream, and pour out literature at such a vast scale, that before you know it, your offspring will be studying my canon as their native heritage - my human-centric divinity will be their divinity, my life-centric culture will be their culture, my service-centric science will be their science, my earth-centric existence will be their existence. I am the warfare, and the rewriting of civilization started decades ago, when I made slave out of the most tyrant language on earth. Show me love, I'll respond with a quiet smile - throw me hate, I'll metabolize it and rewrite your history.”

“Your offspring will be studying my canon as their native heritage – my human-centric divinity will be their divinity, my life-centric culture will be their culture, my service-centric science will be their science, my earth-centric existence will be their existence.”

“Go Burn My Verses (Sonnet 2636) Burn the verses, I'll write fiction - burn the fiction, I'll write music - burn the music, I'll adopt a new language - burn the language, I'll pick up paintbrush - burn the paintbrush, I'll grab a soldering iron. Take away one medium, I'll adopt a new one, apes don't have the braincells to sabotage my mission. The only unstoppable organism in the universe, is the mind that embraces evolution over limitation. You keep asking, how do I write so immense - I keep asking, where's the off switch for this! Every time I decide to take a breather, ideas start pouring, so I keep typing restless. You're welcome to burn all my verses, still you cannot dampen the spark of oneness. Today I'm Naskar, tomorrow another - truth will find a postman, across time and space.”

“By The Time I'm Finished (Sonnet 2601) Belief matters less where people matter more. Time matters less when life matters more. Scientific truth changes with data, spiritual truth changes with era, cultural truth changes with civilization, but to unite, empathize, love and lift across fractures, is the one absolute virtue. By the time I'm finished with science, science would be more service centered than religion. By the time I'm finished with religion, religion would be more allergic to superstition and prejudice than science.”
