Quote by Abhijit Naskar

“Patriotism 101: How To Murder Like A Pro (Sonnet 2445) Murder is an art, if you do it properly you can not only get away, but actually be praised for it. First and foremost, lock your brain and heart up in the cupboard, you don't need them, and join a military kennel, oops, I mean academy, spend all your conscious days and nights finding reasons to hate those beyond the border, and you don't need to search hard, because since you've already abandoned civilized senses, your animal instincts would take over, and deliver you the enemy as per the government requirement - you just need to make sure that, never for a second you must let the human in you take charge, because if it does, that's the end of all patriotic glory.”

“Either Border or Human (Sonnet 2506) In a planet of apes, if you want power and control, all you have to do is sell fear - sell fear, blood, rage, the lot - if you are in politics sell fear, if you are in religion sell hate, if you are in cinema sell rage, but never call them by their real name, always package it in modern language, package bloodshed as patriotism, package fanaticism as tradition, package derangement as righteousness. That's enough ape talk, now hear the human speak: there is no place for nationalism in science, there is no place for fanaticism in holiness, there is no place for hate-commerce in arts, there is no place for borders in consciousness.”

“Es peligroso y temerario que el ciudadano medio mantenga su ignorancia sobre el calentamiento global, la reducción del ozono, la contaminación del aire, los residuos tóxicos y radiactivos, la lluvia ácida, la erosión del suelo, la deforestación tropical, el crecimiento exponencial de la población.”
