“You don't conquer heart by acting on assumption,
You don't conquer division by acting on ideology.
You don't conquer hate by means of intellectualism,
You don't conquer war by deploying more military.”

“Visvavictor Sonnet
I am not a poet,
I am a paradigm.
I am no religionist,
But the source divine.
More than a scientist,
I'm a compass to science.
I am not a philosopher,
But a purposeful alliance.
I am not some legal giant,
But a valley of lawless order.
Transcending Sieg Heil and Star Spangled Banner,
I am the Visva (world), I am the Victor.”

“It's a new world we gotta build -
Founded on love, tempered by reason.
If we must keep the borders,
let's keep them as external necessity,
not as internal prison.”

“Some make bombs for domination,
Some make bombs for survival.
Either way someone pushes a button,
Innocents wind up dead as collateral.”

“Love is a lamp,
That the sane cannot light.
Peace is poetry,
That the sober cannot write.”

“Amantes Assemble Sonnet 63
Love is a lamp,
That the sane cannot light.
Peace is poetry,
That the sober cannot write.
Growth is green,
That the greedy cannot plant.
Insight is a state,
That the pompous cannot land.
Society is a cup of tea,
That the selfish cannot make.
World is a responsibility,
That the animals cannot take.
However, it's okay if the world feels too heavy.
Start by taking your neighborhood's responsibility.”

“All my life," he said, "I have been strangely, vividly conscious of another region—not far removed from our own world in one sense, yet wholly different in kind—where great things go on unceasingly, where immense and terrible personalities hurry by, intent on vast purposes compared to which earthly affairs, the rise and fall of nations, the destinies of empires, the fate of armies and continents, are all as dust in the balance”
