“In addition to specific areas of expertise, it's crucial to consider the overall balance and diversity of the board. A board with a mix of ages, genders, ethnicities, and professional backgrounds is more likely to bring a wide range of perspectives and experiences to the table, leading to more robust discussions and better decision-making.”

“Am crezut întotdeauna că nu poți vorbi despre lucrurile care spun ceva cu adevărat despre tine. Nu față-n față cu celălalt. De-asta scriu în loc să vorbesc. Când ești față-n față, ochi în ochi cu aproapele tău... abia atunci simți zidul de nestrăbătut dintre mințile voastre („cum arată albastrul tău?”, „cum pot simți durerea ta de măsele?”). De asta oamenii și-au spus lucrurile importante prin cărți, căci orice carte presupune o absență, dintr-o parte sau din cealaltă: când e scrisă, lipsește cititorul. Când e citită, lipsește scriitorul. Dispar astfel greața și abjecția de-a pune față-n față judecătorul și condamnatul.”

“Love is our nationality, not land. Compassion is our religion, not creed. Conscience is our byword, not constitution. Heil Hitler, God save the king, Vande Mataram, Patria o Muerte - it's all the same - a declaration of tribal glory, with no concern for the rest of humanity. Such archaic attitude suits a bronze-age society, not a civilized one. It's time for Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam (world is family), not Vande Mataram (hail the motherland) - it's time for Mundo y Vida (world and life), not Patria o Muerte (homeland or death) - it's time for Humans save Humanity, not God save the king.”

“Two Naskars (Sonnet 1541) There's not one but two Naskars, one humanitarian, the other sufi - both rooted in a hatebusting blend of reason and warmth, humanizing humanity. The humanitarian sets fire to the blood, the sufi makes ointment out of wounds. Though the sufi came after the humanitarian, it has only magnified the reformer's boon. Along the journey of a humanitarian, the sufi emerges from his soulful sea. Cutting ties with all cave-age customs, oneness is actualized in mindful diversity.”

“Naskar Accord (The Sonnet) Nationality is a right, Nationalism is not. Religion is a right, Fundamentalism is not. Doubts are a right, Conspiracy is not. Ignorance is a right, Superstition is not. Belief is a right, Hate is not. Fiction is a right, Prejudice is not. Heritage is a right, Division is not. Tradition is a right, Discrimination is not.”
