Quote by Abhijit Naskar

“I Am The Naskar (Sonnet 2100) I am the Naskar, and I bridge people. Unlike religious salesmen, I don't offer you a promised land - because there is nothing to promise, that land of love and life already exists - it exists in your neurons - all you need to do is, bring down the walls that keep you foreign, all you need to do is, denounce the pills that keep you alien in your own home. And when I've drawn all my mortal breaths, I'll take leave with one final declaration - let there be gods - not one, not three, but billions upon billions - let each human be a god unto themselves - without fear, without prejudice - without superstition, without cynicism - let each mind rise triumphant over malice.”

“Eleanor Roosevelt's stand on civil rights, her insistence that America could not fight racism abroad while tolerating it at home, remains one of the affirming moments in the history of the home front during the war.”

“Born Ape, Die Human (Antiseptic Sonnet) I'm born an ape, but I won't die an ape, I'll die the most spectacular human that ever lived - blasphemously tolerant, immeasurably expansive, impractically unbending, impossibly inclusive. The sun always stings like antiseptic, for lies lull with comfort of narcotics. Give me ten brains, hearts and spines, I'll give you a planet primed with peace.”
