“I remember thinking how exhausting it was to exist as a rational thinker in the Bible Belt. No one judged you based on your character; instead it was all about how many times per week you went to church.”

“Darwin did not know what a bitter satire he wrote on mankind ... when he showed that free competition, the struggle for existence, which the economists celebrate as the highest historical achievement, is the normal state of the animal kingdom. Only conscious organization of social production, in which production and distribution are carried on in a planned way, can lift mankind above the rest of the animal.”

“I decide what I am, and I decide the parameters of what I am - for example, I can be a monk and still fall in love, just like, I can be a muslim poet, and still consider the koran to be flawed - I can be a theologian of any faith, and consider all the scriptures to be a mix of good and bad - my mind is the measure, not convention; life is my constitution, not tradition. This is how I created whatever I've created, not in defiance of convention, but indifference - I built my universe, aloof from foolish fractures, to men of ritual it's a terrible sacrilege.”

“Dead Men's Tale (The Sonnet) They say, time and tide wait for none, Lest the bird learns it can fly. The best way to control apes is, To make them feel guilty for their light. They say, dead men tell no tale, and yet, We live our lives based on dead men's tale. It is okay to tell tales if it enhances sight, But not the kind that produces a walking hell. There is no divide when we are alive, Divisions exist only in kingdom of the dead. We are divided because we are dead, Come to life, and all divides will be deleted. Let us write a new tale with the spirit of life. Instead of celebrating death, let's celebrate each other's light.”

“Naskargen (Sonnet 3000) It all started with a promise - Liberty is my religion, Humans are my God; what took to paper as a penniless dream, ignited the planet with culture of integration. Journey of civilization begins with one person rejecting an outdated tradition, evolution of apes to human begins with one person disposing of their flag in a museum. Divinity of the past was based in sky-fiction, divinity of the present must be rooted in life; science of the robots revolves around metal, science of the humans must center around mind. Faith fixated on no prophecy, no propaganda, I entrust my promise upon you, my promise, my rebellion, my madness - if there is not a single Naskar in sight, be the Naskar of your generation.”

“Unbound (The Sonnet) Unbound by tradition, Unbound by biases, Unbound by belief, Unbound by loyalties, Unbound by logicality, Unbound by assumption, Unbound by selfishness, Unbound by argumentation, Unbound by intellect, Unbound by ignorance, Unbound by arrogance, Unbound by indifference. This is how we rise human, This is how we find communion.”
