Quote by Aida Mandic

“The Dark Cloud Is the degradation minorities face because they want to be a dreamer and a doer Is the sculpted destiny of someone who was born poor Is the suffocating feeling you get when you are told to shut up Is the tragic life story of a sick child who has cancer and who can’t even hold a cup”

“I think it a valid hypothesis that poverty is actually dreadfully painful -not only physically, but emotionally and socially. There is only so much pain we can expect a being to endure before his attempts to relieve it through future-damaging means become perfectly understandable and, in fact, rational.”

“Humanitarian Arithmetic (Sonnet 1354) If it takes $300bn to end world hunger, and 7 trillion to fund the next AI wonder, how many people have to starve to death, to feed the appetite of the cyberworld? If Britain's NHS costs about $200bn, and US military costs 800 billion dollars, how many have to suffer from sickness, for the tribal chiefs to feel secure? If it takes $20bn to end homelessness in the US, and trillions to colonize Mars, how many have to sleep in cardboard boxes, for heirs of billionaires to breed on Mars? You don't need to be a Ramanujan or Euler, to solve this simple arithmetic equation. But you do need a living human heart, to take responsibility for the solution.”

“In a world where change is constant and uninterrupted, believing that the centralized planning of scientists, politicians and state bureaucrats is more efficient than the spontaneous order of human cooperation, in the search for solutions to disease, climate change and the end of poverty, is so intensely naive that even the purity of a child will seem wiser.”
