Quote by Abhijit Naskar

“Sonnet of Abortion My body, my decision, Whether I choose birth or abortion. Till a state can care for the newborn, No bill is qualified to offer resolution. Instead of controlling my birth canal, Work on carving a paradigm of equality. Build a world where a newborn is a gift, Not a burden on life, dream or economy. Abolish all disparities born of greed, Strip the wealthy of their ill-gotten riches. Use all resources for collective welfare, So that status ends up on history pages. Worse than aborting is birthing in instability. I'll give birth when I need not rely on pity.”

“لم يجد العسكري في حياته كلها لم يجد متعة أعظم من أن يجلس السعات إلى عم حسن ، ويسمعه بمفرده أو معه الآخرون وهو يحدثهم ، ومن ذات نفسه يفرجهم على عوالم غريبة رائعة وليالي وكأنها مسحورة ترى من فنجان ، وأيام وأحداث وكأنها اغترفت من أكداس الروايات ، مع أنه في كل ما كان يتحدث به لم يكن هناك أثر للخيال ، فما رآه رأي العين أغرب مما يراه الآخرون رأي الخيال .. لاشك أن المتع كثيرة ولكن يبدو أن أمتعها جميعاً وأحلاها هي متعة أن تعرف ، متعة أن تعلم ما تجهله أو تزداد علماً بما تعرفه ، وكل ما يحدث عنه عم حسن دائماً جديد غير مطروق ، أناس وكأنهم ليسوا من جنس الناس ، وإنما من نوع آخر لا يتبدى إلا لعم حسن .. أو كأنهم الناس ، ولكن أشياء منهم مغلقة تفتح بكلمة سر لا يعرفها إلا الرجل العجوز.”

“Eudora Welty singles out for praise Austen's "habit of seeing both sides of her own subject - of seeing it indeed in the round". ... Both men and women can be vain about their appearances, selfish about money, overawed by rank, and limited by parochialism; both men and women can function capably, think profoundly, feel deeply, create imaginatively, laugh wittily, and love faithfully. Without vindicating the rights of anyone directly, Austen posits a humanism far ahead of her time. "How really modern she is, after all," Welty concludes of Austen.”

“Humanists were people who wanted to return to ideas found in old Greek and Latin writing of Greece and Rome, written many centuries earlier. Christian Humanists also wanted to get back to these ideas, but they were mainly concerned with learning about the early Christian Church, before it had become involved with money-making and superstition. They wanted to read the books of the early Church, especially the gospels of Christ, in the original language of Greek, so that they would know exactly what the writings meant. The leader of the Christian Humanists was Desiderius Erasmus (1466-1536), who attacked superstitions in the Catholic Church in his writing.”
