“We can no longer speak Evil. All we can do is discourse on the rights of man - a discourse which is pious, weak, useless and hypocritical, its supposed value deriving from the Enlightenment belief in a natural attraction of the Good, from an idealized view of human relationships (whereas Evil can manifestly be dealt with only by means of Evil). What is more, even this Good qua ideal value is invariably deployed in a self-defensive, austerity-loving, negative and reactive mode. All the talk is of the minimizing of Evil, the prevention of violence: nothing but security. This is the condescending and depressive power of good intentions, a power that can dream of nothing except rectitude in the world, that refuses even to consider a bending of Evil, or an intelligence of Evil. There can be a 'right' to speech only if speech is defined as the 'free' expression of an individual. Where speech is conceived of as a form implying reciprocity, collusion, antagonism or seduction, the notion of right can have no possible meaning.”

“Those who are arrogant about their pedigree, about their culture, about their intellect, I have no business with them, give me the humble janitor, give me the illiterate construction worker, give me the dropout waitress - the humble soul will find me in their own heart, but the arrogant will argue their whole life and never understand what I am all about, what humanity is all about - it's about community, it's about listening, it's about letting go of one's self-obsessed identity to become one with humanity.”

“Humans awake with humanity need no bible, quran or gita to tell right from wrong - they don't need humanitarian institutions to tackle crisis of human rights. They just stand up and act as human, and the whole planet is revolutionized.”

“Divinity for Sale (The Sonnet) When a book becomes religion, And doctrines become divinity, Holiness remains speculation, Society loses sight of humanity. When institutions claim authority, And sleeping masses comply, Religion disappears altogether, What remains is potential gone awry. When popes and pundits sell faith, In the name of divine supremacy, Rigidity overrules common sense, And reason is hailed as blasphemy. But there is a cure for all this atrocity. It is called individual curiosity.”
