Quote by Abhijit Naskar

“Politics is The New Opium (The Sonnet) I started writing on politics to impress a girl, Then she left for a native white, balkan alternative. But I was too deep in the pickle to leave politics, Eventually the struggling nobody arose a global native. Originally I was inclined towards writing on religion, But soon I realized justice is the religion of tomorrow. And the world's notion of religion is beyond repair, Terms of religion lost their charm to me more and more. Religion was the opium for the masses of yesterday, Politics is opium for the masses of today. But politics of pop culture is not what I work on, My politics is not left or right, but mostly grey. As a brain scientist, my work is to dissect human nature. If it makes way for a better society, that's a great honor.”

“Civil Discourse (The Sonnet) Be a friend to the just, But a parent to the unjust. There is no place for hate, Restrain the hater, but do not hurt. The paradigm of revolution needs reform, We must make it grow out of cruelty, For cruelty is not the cure for cruelty, We must treat it with the light of sanity. It is a sad state of affairs when, Violence becomes a part of civil discourse. How can we possibly call ourselves civilized, If mere disagreement breaks out into violent uproars! So I repeat, cruelty is not the answer to cruelty. Work to destroy hate without destroying the human spirit.”

“In Germany to-day one hears a good deal concerning Socialism, but it is a Socialism that would only be despotism under another name. Individualism makes no appeal to the German voter. He is willing, nay, anxious to be controlled and regulated in all things. 'You get yourself born,' says the German Government to the German citizen, 'we do the rest. Indoors and out of doors, in sickness and in health, in pleasure and in work, we will tell you what to do, and we will see to it that you do it. Don't you worry yourself anything.' And the German doesn't. [published in 1900]”
