“In a society where people have the status of "free citizens," it is important to ensure that all people have the same rights and opportunities. This includes the right to work, the right to safety, and the right to be treated with respect. Sex workers are just as much "free citizens" as anyone else, and they deserve to be treated with the same dignity and respect.”

“Either we are rational spirit obliged forever to obey the absolute values of the Tao, or else we are mere nature to be kneaded and cut into new shapes for the pleasures of masters who must, by hypothesis, have no motive but their own 'natural' impulses. Only the Tao provides a common human law of action which can over-arch rulers and ruled alike. A dogmatic belief in objective value is necessary to the very idea of a rule which is not tyranny or an obedience which is not slavery.
I am not here thinking solely, perhaps not even chiefly, of those who are our public enemies at the moment. The process which, if not checked, will abolish Man goes on apace among Communists and Democrats no less than among Fascists. The methods may (at first) differ in brutality. But many a mild-eyed scientist in pincenez, many a popular dramatist, many an amateur philosopher in our midst, means in the long run just the same as the Nazi rulers of Germany/Traditional values are to be 'debunked' and mankind to be cut out into some fresh shape at the will (which must, by hypothesis, be an arbitrary will) of some few lucky people in one lucky generation which has learned how to do it. The belief that we can invent 'ideologies' at pleasure, and the consequent treatment of mankind as mere υλη, specimens, preparations, begins to affect our very language. Once we killed bad men: now we liquidate unsocial elements. Virtue has become integration and diligence dynamism, and boys likely to be worthy of a commission are ‘potential officer material'. Most wonderful of all, the virtues of thrift and temperance, and even of ordinary intelligence, are sales-resistance.”

“Naskarism, Marxism, Buddhism, Sufism, Confucianism, Christianism, Judaism, it's all human construct. As such, none of it is infallible. Yours truly admits that, so did my friend Sid (Buddha), as well as my brother Mevlana (Rumi). And what's wrong with acknowledging the possibility of folly anyway! It is only through folly that fervor unfolds - it is only through mistakes that the mind expands.”

“Publish and Forget, Sonnet
(When Scientist becomes Poet)
Write till you drop dead,
that's my motto of writing.
I don't do promotions,
have never done book signings.
In fact, once I release a work,
I forget and move on to the next.
In an industry driven by book sales,
My principle is, publish and forget.
I never remember how much I have written,
though the vastness is staggering to many.
All I can think of, how much I have to write,
before I drift into the slumber of non-entity.
At birth we become elements to entity,
upon death the entity reverts to elements.
Make sure to make your trip mean something,
more reason to transcend foolish containments.”

“Beyond tongue and tradition,
Beyond ignorance and intolerance,
Beyond fear and fanaticism,
Beyond rigidity and recklessness,
Beyond the desert of dead habit,
Beyond the logical heartlessness,
Beyond the lies of selfish order,
Beyond the highs of whims and wishes,
There's a valley of love and laughter.
Come someday, I shall meet you there.”

“Sonnet 2000 (My Real Legacy)
My real legacy is not the books or the sonnets,
but the unbending humanitarians I've set on fire.
The literature is just a vessel for the spirit,
spirit of a world united, in reason and in care.
Ceaseless slurs are daily occurrence,
Mindless hate indeed plenty I face.
Yet I've kept all vengeance in check,
Never have I ever been lost in bitterness.
I am the line that I've drawn for myself,
Can't tell you how to behave, how not.
I stand steady as the human impossible,
Rest is up to you, what to take, what not.
I don't come from wealth, nor could I amass any,
I set out with zero dollars, and no publicity.
World integration is my life's first madness -
this madness I leave for you, now it's your duty.”

“Sonnets to Write Before I Sleep
(The Sonnet)
When I finished my first 1000 sonnets,
I felt, now I shall take it slow.
But now at the finishing of second 1000,
I feel, I gotta write thousands more!
The first thousand took me four years,
the second thousand took me two years,
all without an ounce of industry support,
I am the sole maker of my literary empire.
Sonnets are my vessel of reason,
Sonnets are my bearer of justice.
Sonnets are my medium of divinity,
I'm my sonnets - antidote to malice.
Proof of poetry is in the spirit,
Proof of justice is among the just.
Worlds to unite before I sleep,
Proof of life is in standing guard.”

“Where God Retreats (The Sonnet)
Where God retreats,
Human must step in.
Where myths fall short,
Mind must intervene.
Where doctrines dwindle,
Conscience must march uncorrupt.
Where scriptures fall cripple,
Character must stand on guard.
Where logic dreads to tread,
Love must rush to rescue life.
Where governments legalize fear,
Citizens must be bearer of light.
Advance of Human is advance of God.
Wishful indolence is religion of the cod.”

“And I think we got it all wrong. Growing up isn’t so much about gaining wisdom as it is collecting a list of things we've lost interest in. The passions that once burned brightly dim with the years, not because they’re less important, but because familiarity breeds contentment—or perhaps complacency.”

“Patriotism has then, many faces. Those who would reject it entirely do not seem to have considered what will certainly step - has already begun to step - into its place. For a long time yet, or perhaps forever, nations will live in danger. Rulers must somehow nerve their subjects to defend them or at least to prepare for their defence. Where the sentiment of patriotism has been destroyed this can be done only by presenting every international conflict in a purely ethical light. If people will spend neither sweat nor blood for "their country" they must be made to feel that they are spending them for justice, or civilisation, or humanity. This is a step down, not up.”

“Humanitarian Behaviorism
(The Sonnet)
Give me a drop of love,
I'll shower you with monsoon.
Hit me with loads of hate,
I'll silently disappear soon.
I don't approve of hate in return,
I just walk away from wrong done to me.
Wrong done to another is another matter,
I am the bulldozer, if you are the bully.
I am a biologist and behaviorist after all,
I don't need to do harm to restrain harm.
Weaknesses of the apes are my common knowledge,
Where there is brain, there's no need for brawn.
Brain used to lift the world,
is the only human brain.
All else is mindless protoplasm,
ever-consumed with greed and gain.”
