Quote by Abhijit Naskar

“Naskar is not linear, Naskar is not binary, remember that, before you start analyzing Naskar with your two little backwater, linear, binary brain cells. I roam across dimensions, across disciplines, across cultures, languages, and timelines, across entire spectrums of electrochemical experiences, of which the tribally paralyzed carbon based, mammalian, biped lifeform can only register a sliver.”

“Revisionist views of the Constitution by opportunistic politicians and unelected judges with agendas that reinterpret the Bill of Rights to take power away from the people and consolidate it at the federal level threaten the core principles of the Republic. As a free people, keeping federal power in check is something that should be of concern to us all. The fundamental value of freedom is what sets us apart from the rest of the world. We are citizens, not subjects, and we must stay ever vigilant that we remain so.”

“You end up with a machine which knows that by its mildest estimate it must have terrible enemies all around and within it, but it can't find them. It therefore deduces that they are well-concealed and expert, likely professional agitators and terrorists. Thus, more stringent and probing methods are called for. Those who transgress in the slightest, or of whom even small suspicions are harboured, must be treated as terrible foes. A lot of rather ordinary people will get repeatedly investigated with increasing severity until the Government Machine either finds enemies or someone very high up indeed personally turns the tide... And these people under the microscope are in fact just taking up space in the machine's numerical model. In short, innocent people are treated as hellish fiends of ingenuity and bile because there's a gap in the numbers.”

“Counterinsurgency rests on the assumption that the enemy has significant support in the communities from which it recruits. The aim of counterinsurgency strategy is to deny the enemy any propaganda victories that can further fuel its recruitment. Insurgents must be isolated from their targeted host communities. This requires a combination of psychological, physical and economic warfare, all with the aim of undermining the insurgents’ ideological, operational and financial capabilities. From: Maajid Nawaz's article titled, 'How to Beat Islamic State', December 11th, 2015”

“Die israelische Gesellschaft ist schon lange ein schillerndes Mosaik zwischen zwei Polen –Demokratie und Religion. Wie könnte es auch anders sein mit einem Volk voller Widersprüche: Säkulare, Traditionsbewusste, Religiöse, Modern-Orthodoxe, Ultraorthodoxe, Siedler. Und alles dazwischen. Mit den Palästinensern Israels. Mit Juden, Muslimen, Christen, Drusen, Baha’i … Viele dieser Gruppen haben ihren eigenen Lebensstil, spezielle Überzeugungen und kollidierende Vorstellungen von den wichtigsten Bereichen gesellschaftlichen Zusammenlebens. Von Ehe und Scheidung, Wehrpflicht, Geschlechtertrennung, Bildung, Toleranz für Minderheiten, Einstellung zu den Palästinensern und zur Zwei-Staaten-Lösung. Und so viel mehr. Dieses Mosaik aus Widersprüchen hält nur mit Kompromissen. Und einer Führung, die das Volk der Israelis mehr oder weniger zusammenbringt. Ansonsten kommt es zu gefährlichen Rissen. Wenn ich heute auf Israel blicke, sehe ich vor allem ein Land, das sich von innen zerreißt. Menschen, die mit ihren Wurzeln um sich schlagen, als seien sie Waffen.”

“I have walked by stalls in the market-place where books, dog-eared and faded from their purple, have burst with a white hosanna. I have seen people crowned with a double crown, holding in either hand the crook and flail, the power and the glory. I have understood how the scar be­comes a star, I have felt the flake of fire fall, miraculous and pentecostal. My yesterdays walk with me. They keep step, they are grey faces that peer over my shoulder.”

“There were no milestones in the Copper Country. Often a traveler could only measure the progress of a journey by the time it took to get from each spoiled or broken thing to the next: a half-day’s walk from a dry well to the muzzle of a cannon poking out of a sand-slope, two hours to reach the skeletons of a man and a mule. The land was losing its battle with time. Ancient and exhausted, it visited decrepitude on everything within its bounds, as though out of spleen.”

“As they gently lowered it into the earth, all stared silently at the coffin but one: a young woman of twenty-five who glanced absentmindedly into the distance where an unknown figure stood – watching, waiting, his face buried in the shadow of his hat. Whether by intuition or paranoia she could not tell, but the presence of the man troubled her and her eyes were fixed on his motionless body and would not stir. Tourists rarely came to a town as small and uneventful as theirs, let alone to visit a funeral where they did not introduce themselves and only beheld the spectacle from afar.”
