“Either Border or Human (Sonnet 2506) In a planet of apes, if you want power and control, all you have to do is sell fear - sell fear, blood, rage, the lot - if you are in politics sell fear, if you are in religion sell hate, if you are in cinema sell rage, but never call them by their real name, always package it in modern language, package bloodshed as patriotism, package fanaticism as tradition, package derangement as righteousness. That's enough ape talk, now hear the human speak: there is no place for nationalism in science, there is no place for fanaticism in holiness, there is no place for hate-commerce in arts, there is no place for borders in consciousness.”
