“Practice makes neurons connect - neurons make people connect - and when people connect beyond biases, assumptions, and stereotypes, that's when humanity rises.”
“Honor He Wrote Sonnet 57
Dreams that we witness in sleep, ain't no dream,
Real dream is the one that doesn't let us sleep.
Only when mindful martyrs work without blink,
Rest of the world has a peaceful sleep.
I have been sleepless ever since I came of age,
Such is the madness of the dream of assimilation.
The thought of rest rarely enters my mind,
No matter how much the climb causes desolation.
No dream comes to fruition without restless nights,
No sun ever rises without first crossing darkness.
No mortal ever turns immortal without self-sacrifice,
No world is ever beautified without martyr's madness.
Enough with the snobbish nonsense of dream analyzing!
All know sleepwalking, now let ‘em witness dreamwalking!”

“Welcome to Earth (World Tourism Sonnet)
When you are down with doubts sit down,
For lessons of revolution from the Americas.
When you are beginning to have cold feet,
Siphon some much needed resilience from Africa.
When your heart is beginning to turn cold,
Have a rejuvenating swim in the warmth of Asia.
When clouds of gloom start to grab hold,
Breathe in some fresh air from Australia.
Whenever the bickering goes overboard,
Draw some lessons of unity from Europe.
Whatever it is you seek my friend,
We just might be able to satisfy your hope.
Come visit us sometime, on our little blue dot.
We are the beings of love, light and colors,
as such we often go overboard.”

“Much of the existing dialogue around the issue of online abuse frames it as violence against women, and that's a major problem. Most of the space being taken up focuses on gender and ignores race, sexuality, and every other type of identity and the intersections thereof. Yet most of the people whom I consider to be the top experts on online abuse and how to defeat it are not white.”

“Sonnet of Languages
Turkish is the language of love,
Spanish is the language of revolution.
Swedish is the language of resilience,
English is the language of translation.
Portuguese is the language of adventure,
German is the language of discipline.
French is the language of passion,
Italian is the language of cuisine.
With over 7000 languages in the world,
Handful of tongues fall short in a sonnet.
But you can rest assured of one thing,
Every language does something the very best.
Each language is profoundly unique in its own way.
When they come together, they light the human way.”

“One small step towards a language is one giant leap towards inclusion.”

“Each being the precedent to another, each being the residence to another, we shall build the universal residence of love and light for everybody - where nobody will be alien, nobody will be destitute, where nobody will be persecuted, nobody will have reason to be rude.”
