“Arise, O Atlas (Sonnet 1100)
Vakna, Stå upp, o Modige Atlas!
Ta världen på din axel,
Förkasta allt som är ojust.
Awake, Arise, O Atlas Supreme,
Take the world on your shoulder.
Denounce all roots of hate and hurt,
Wielding your humanitarian viking thunder.
I don't write for creatures of gutter,
I write for those craving for open skies.
If you can give up your golden fancies,
I'll give you a world beyond the lies.
Despierta, levántate, oh loco amante!
El mundo entero está a tu cuidado.
Give up your aphrodisiac of wild ancestry,
Somos humanos cuando nos descubrimos en cada humano.”

“When we start to categorize people into groups, we create the US them dynamics that we can create in the lab by assigning people to a blue team or a red team once we start to put a label and attach stereotypes to it we create intergroup conflict where it doesn't need to be”
“I’m sorry, I cannot live a single cultural, single lingual, single scriptural existence. I want all the cultures and languages, I want all the scriptures and sciences.”

“Awake, Arise, Integrate -
to segregate is to disintegrate!
Don't call yourself a human being,
till you rise remedy to animal hate.”

“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.”
