Quote by Abhijit Naskar

“Why do you think I make zero mention of the culture I was born and raised in? It's because if I am to build a world where civilized beings would behave civilized and step across cultural bigotry, I must stand as the anomalous specimen of that possibility myself - I must stand as the ultimate global citizen - as a sapiens of earth, not of borders. Hence, I wiped out every last trace of identity imposed on me by the environment. Today I stand as the Himalayas - many cultures will claim exclusive copyright over me, but no single culture is vast enough to contain me.”

“It doesn't matter whether you are muslim, christian, jew or atheist. It doesn't matter whether you are black, white, brown or martian. If you have love in your heart and kindness in your hands, then you are human. But if your existence is anemic of love and kindness, then no matter how human you look, and how many Sundays and Fridays you spend at the church or the mosque, you ain't no human.”

“Thus Speaks God (The Sonnet) Ik onkar, satnaam, Porque, yo soy insan. Aham bismillahsmi, Çünkü, benim adım vicdan. Sarva dharman parityajya, Giving up all national grave, Nos haremos vessels of verdad, Rise we shall as sapiens brave. Divinidad está en cada cultura, But no culture is pure divinity. Human divided is human undivine, Hatelessness is civilized divinity. Thus speaks God in tongue beyond tongues. One vessel isn't enough to contain my neurons.”

“Personal fiction is a psychological necessity of the individual – hence, a right - why can't we simply accept it as such! Why do we have to diss another person for not believing in the same kind of fiction that we believe in! It is time we become an aid to each other's light, not an impediment.”
