“The individual must choose in which direction they want to take this world of ours - will they take it down the same rotten path of sectarianism like our ancestors did, or will they build a whole new civilized path - a path that facilitates love, not hate - a path that facilitates discussion, not debate - a path that unites, not divides - in short, a path that is human, not savage!”

“Plight of A Humanitarian (The Sonnet) My dear people of earth, I die everyday so that your children can live. My dear people of earth, You've been selfish for long now it's time to give. My dear people of earth, I struggle everyday with your interest on top. My dear people of earth, Enough of this tribalism now it's time to grow up. My dear people of earth, I'm really tired and weary righting all wrong. My dear people of earth, Join me in making a world where we all belong. I promise I don't want much from you. All I ask is that you bid your sectarianism adieu.”

“When Love Awakens (The Sonnet) When love awakens so will the world, For love is the seed of civilization. When love awakens the conflicts will end, For love is the gateway to assimilation. When care crosses family suffering will wither, For selfishness is the cause of miseries. When the soul is clear enough to reflect all, All separation will turn into memories. When breath of one becomes the breath of all, All atrocious walls will collapse into dust. When there’s no more ‘my people your people’, Only then we will be human at last. When the fire of love engulfs our whole being, Time will bear witness to humanity's uprising.”

“The Loco Sonnet Better to be loco for something, Than to be sane for nothing. Better to fight and die for a purpose, Than to sit around and do chanting. Better to love and be exploited, Than to be self-obsessed and crooked. Better to disagree and annoy each other, Than to hide the differences fostering hatred. Better to be a know-nothing idiot, Than to be a know-it-all loudspeaker. Better a character without fancy clothes, Than fancy clothes without character. There’s no future without a united humanity. The whole world is a reflection of me.”

“The concept of world peace is nothing but a publicity stunt - for there to be real peace we actually have to stop living as tribal savages and start living as universal humans whose family are the humans, whose religion are the humans, whose philosophy are the humans.”

“People often ask me, "you are not a believer in the common sense of the term, then why don't you call yourself an atheist", I tell them, "that's because atheists place all importance on facts, I place all importance on people". As a scientist, I am very much aware of the value of facts, but facts are never more important than the people, in fact, they are only valuable so long as they serve the welfare of people - in circumstances where facts go against the welfare of the people, a civilized human must always choose people over facts.”
