Famous Abhijit Naskar Quotes

“People still get shot because of their color - people still get mistrusted because of their religion - people still get sneered at because of their gender and sexuality. Does this look like a civilized world? We may have the tangible brain capacity to build a civilized world, but we are not there yet, and we are not going to reach that destination any time soon. However, the work must begin now.”

“Break The Walls (The Sonnet) Let's break the walls my friend, There ain't no place for segregation no more. Let's break the distance my friend, There ain't no place for pettiness no more. Let's sing the song of victory, There ain't no place for savagery no more. Let's loosen the knots of tradition, There ain't no time for rigidity no more. Don't you hear the siren my friend, Can't you feel the rising sun! Don't you hear the footsteps of dawn, It's time to let go of all things barbarian. Fear not the unknown and unexplored o friend of mine. Let's walk together opening doors to one humankind.”

“People have a tendency to either fundamentalize things or philosophize things - those who fundamentalize things, boast about heritage, and those who philosophize things, boast about intellect. I say, neither heritage nor intellect is to be placed at the supreme altar of the human mind, instead what we must place in our mind's altar is people.”

“Let them learn at school whatever they learn to pass the examinations, but at home let the education that you provide be the kind that widens their perceptions and takes away the germs of prejudices that infect them while they are out in the world.”

“The system that aims at educating our boys and girls in the same manner as in the circus where the trainer teaches the lion to sit on a stool, has not understood the true meaning of education itself. Instead of being like a circus where the trainer uses his stick to make animals do stunts to serve the interest of the audience, the system of education should be like an Orchestra where the conductor waves his stick to orchestrate the music already within the musicians’ heart in the most beautiful manner. The teacher should be like the conductor in the orchestra, not the trainer in the circus.”

“The point is, education in its truest form, is the foundation of all human endeavors. It is the most noble of all the civilized elements of human consciousness. Education enables the humans to achieve their fullest mental and physical potential in both personal and social life. The ability of being educated is what distinguishes humans from animals. You can teach a cockatoo to repeat a bunch of vocabularies, but you cannot teach it to construct a space shuttle and go to the moon.”

“Proof of Sapiens (Sonnet 2403) If a 3 pound brain can contain a 100 billion nerve cells, a planet with land the size of 20 billion stadiums should have room for 10 billion people. Then how come, so many have to survive on so little, on a planet this size, this rich! It all comes down to hoarding - if we cared more about social responsibility than social etiquette, we wouldn't have such drastic paradoxes of disparity. In English we say: proof of the pudding is in the eating. In Naskarian we say: proof of the Sapiens is in the sharing.”

“Dead Men's Tale (The Sonnet) They say, time and tide wait for none, Lest the bird learns it can fly. The best way to control apes is, To make them feel guilty for their light. They say, dead men tell no tale, and yet, We live our lives based on dead men's tale. It is okay to tell tales if it enhances sight, But not the kind that produces a walking hell. There is no divide when we are alive, Divisions exist only in kingdom of the dead. We are divided because we are dead, Come to life, and all divides will be deleted. Let us write a new tale with the spirit of life. Instead of celebrating death, let's celebrate each other's light.”

“DEI Sonnet I call it curiosity, You call it science. I call it integrity, You call it defiance. I call it contemplation, You call it philosophy. I call it accountability, You call it sociology. I call it correction, You call it revolution. I call it existence, You call it inclusion. All I see is humans finally living a human life. You with your brainy fancy philosophize it as DEI.”
