Quote by Abhijit Naskar

“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.”

“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.”
