Famous Abhijit Naskar Quotes

“I Expand, Therefore I Am (The Sonnet) I expand, therefore I am, Thought is no measure of sapiens. Even a dog can think what's best for it, Such selfishness is no existence. Expansion makes the human, Inclusion strengthens life. Diversity beautifies society, There is no room for divide. Sanity lies in unselfishness, Selfishness is inhumanity. When all world becomes one family, That my friend is true community. Let us be vast and breathe in the world. Let us show all, the blue dot is no less bold.”

“I envision a valley, beyond red and blue, beyond flags and barbwires, beyond capitols and churches, where our descendants will sit together around a campfire and tell each other stories of the olden days - "remember when our ancestors used to live in tribes - they called it religion, nation, race and all that - how silly right!" I work towards that future.”

“The New American Sonnet America doesn't mean the best, America means accountability. America doesn't mean supremacy, America means responsible liberty. America doesn't mean flawless, America means growing against oddity. America doesn't mean condescension, America means caring for all humanity. America doesn't mean white or color, America means celebration of diversity. America doesn't mean red or blue, America means together crossing rigidity. Stars and stripes have no place for hate. Our heart is human, it's humanity we celebrate.”

“Sonnet of Promise I made a promise with my life, Never to leave your side. How can I maroon you my friend, When you and I are one light. Some call me muy loco, Cause I stand for reason and inclusion. A world where division is sanity, Is but a gutter of superstition. All things have meaning, When we have people next to us. Without their presence to fill our life, Existence is but a futile fuss. Breathing alone is like choking to death. A breath shared is a breath well lived.”

“I am loco for society - I am loco for humanity - I am loco for universal unity - and till the last breath in my body I'll work to make that universal unity a reality, regardless of whether I fail or not - where I leave off, someone else as loco as me will pick up and where they leave off, others will pick.”

“We have arrived at a point of time in history, where there is no place for exclusive national or cultural identity upon the fabric of society. With one hand foster your cultural identity, with another assimilate others - this is the golden principle of progress, both national and global.”

“Sonnet of Festivals Christmas isn't about the decorations, It's about compassion. Hanukkah isn't about the sufganiyot, It's about amalgamation. Ramadan isn't about the feast, It's about affection. Diwali isn't about the lights, It's about ascension. Our world is filled with festivals, But what do they really mean? Celebrating them with cultural exclusivity, Makes us not human but savage fiend. Every festival belongs to all of humanity, For happiness has no religious identity.”

“If your own cultural identity is more important to you than unification of the world, then the world will remain segregated for the rest of time, but if you can truly, actually, genuinely aim towards the unification of the world even at the cost of your own identity, then not only we'll create a world of peace and assimilation, but also, in that world there will be place for all identities, with none of them being superior or inferior to any of them.”

“Celebrating Colors (A Sonnet) Come my friend, it's time to color the world, It's been vague and stale for eternity. You and I, we all have the colors in us, Why not use them to paint over all conformity. Let's color with our words, thoughts and action, So that not a single inch is left unrenovated. Let's paint with justice, equality and sanity, And make all offices of bigotry eliminated. There is no lack of colors in the world, Nor there is lack of determined conscience. Once you recognize the colors in your heart, The universe will rejoice in our united radiance. Colors are plenty for us to celebrate together, Hence we take a stand forging a humane future.”

“Discard anything that makes you narrow, discard anything that separates you from people, discard anything that impairs your growth. Discard traditions that make you narrow, discard scriptures that make you narrow, discard heritage that makes you narrow, discard culture that makes you narrow, discard constitutions, policies and governments that make you narrow. Expansion is the watchword of life, nay, expansion is life, narrowness is death.”

“Shades of Brown (The Sonnet) There is no white skin, There is no black skin. All of us are shades of brown, If we can reason without stereotyping. Climate makes the difference in color, But not in character of the individual. Human character knows no geography, For a being of character is human above all. The idea of race is a myth most foul, Born of ignorance and narrowness. Now we live in a different time, That requires abolition of divisiveness. Discard those traditions and live as sapient. Let's build a world where color ain't relevant.”
