Quote by Isaac Yuen

“Perhaps burdened with the weight of what we have wrought, human beings have remained hauntable beings; and being hauntable means that we are still capable of turning our gaze, of looking up from our narrow preoccupations to be startled by the sight of a broader, vaster community. In so doing, we can come to realize a world that lies beyond us and use, and so come to see both the obvious and the obscure, the fleeting and the eternal, as elements beyond all reckoning of wealth and worth. Sometimes we can still see what is plain to see.”

“Sonnet 1284 Human chest contains miracles of the cosmos, Animal chest contains but the brutal jungle. Choice is yours, what shall you facilitate - a world of brutality or a world of miracle! Be a miracle or be an animal, choice is yours; In your veins brews the dream of civilization. The world is in dire need of miracle humans, There is no such thing as miracle animal. This ribcage ends up a prison most times, But it can also be a sanctuary - a paradise. Entertain hate, and you are a prisoner; Give in to love, lo you usher into light! Abandon divide, adopt but life. Contain the world in your chest of light.”

“On earth we are immigrants from Africa - out in space we'd be immigrants from Earth - in a different galaxy, we'd be immigrants from Milkyway. To put simply, in exploration of space, both external and internal, terms like immigrant and indigenous are meaningless. It's the heart that makes us indigenous or immigrant, not blood.”

“The mission, I repeat, is to build a one world family, not one world government. Till the very word “government” is nowhere to be found but in books on ancient tribal rituals, keep on struggling, O Sapiens Impossible!”

“Keep struggling, o brave soldier - keep struggling till politicians become an extinct species and politics an extinct profession. The mission is, not to replace old world mindlessness with new world mindlessness, but to put an end to all forms of brainless authoritarianism selected randomly on the basis of charisma and popularity by hysterical whim. The mission, I repeat, is to build a one world family, not one world government. Till the very word “government” is nowhere to be found but in books on ancient tribal rituals, keep on struggling, O Sapiens Impossible!”
