“The Social Welfare Sonnet I have no problem with capitalism, I have problem when it's devoid of society. I have no problem with innovation, I have problem when it lacks accountability. I have no problem with religion, I have problem when it's run by bigotry. I have no problem with intellect, I have problem when it lacks decency. I have no problem with advancement, I have problem when it facilitates disparity. I have no problem with politics, I have problem when it loses all sanity. No field is evil entire of its own. Evil festers when we forget we can’t progress alone.”

“Human Helpline (The Sonnet) Neither Christ, nor Krishna, nor Superman, No imagination can rescue humanity. Each of us is the only helpline, Human salvation is human responsibility. Enough with these prayer and rituals, Now awake from the sleep of subjugation. As heroes fraught with reason and conscience, We must rise to break all submission. Progress demands a life of revolution, Self-induced slavery won't do. The more you seek a savior outside, The more you turn into boneless goo. Of all life on earth the human being is peerless. Only those called sapiens roar for the helpless.”

It is not an item in his political lexicon, and would sound merely embarrassing were it to turn up there. For the liberal tradition, what seems to many men and women to lie at the core of human existence has a peripheral place in the affairs of the world, however vital a role it may play in the private life. The concept of political love, one imagines would make little sense to Ditchkins. Yet something like this is the ethical basis for socialism. It is just that it is hard to see what this might mean in a civilization where love has been almost wholly reduced to the erotic, romantic, or domestic. Ditchkins writes as he does partly because a legacy which offers an alternative to the liberal heritage on this question is today in danger of sinking without trace.”

“Only a few short weeks ago, we shared the glory of man's first sight of the world as God sees it, as a single sphere reflecting light in the darkness. ... In that moment of surpassing technological triumph, men turned their thoughts toward home and humanity, seeing in that far perspective that man's destiny on earth is not divisible.”
