Multiculturalism Quotes

“When The Pillar Gets Weary (Dervish Sonnet 2776) I don't utter a single word that I wouldn't want to become part of the canon, but person can't live on discipline alone, so, having no lover to take my armor off for, I found a different way to vent my vulnerability - in the mainstream work I'm a pillar of strength, while turkish is quite literally my love language - english is the language where my brain feels at home, turkish is the language where my heart finds rest - none my mothertongue, yet both are my first language, with spanish as my occasional substitute for english. English is not my mothertongue, english is my brother tongue - spanish is not my mothertongue, spanish is my cousin tongue - turkish is not my mothertongue, turkish is my lover tongue. My territory is planet earth - humanity, my civilization. Figure what I didn't mention, you'll learn the law of assimilation.”

“Forget the canon, you can't even make sense of my titles, bleating like nationalist livestock, and chanting like brainless bacon - you have to have a certain amount of multicultural tendency, which in a way, is your first test of pilgrimage, moreover, it's the key to the Naskar Canon. If you have no desire to step outside your culture, there's no point in grabbing any of my text, you might as well pick up a chinese or arab text, and expect to be an expert while speaking only English.”

“Monkeys have a deranged jungle instinct of yapping about their religion, nation and culture, which is why I made it a point to erase mine, for I say again, I exist for I dissolve in all. My life is the experiment I leave to the world; neither failed, nor successful, I am just a humanizing mutation.”

“Tierra Carta (Charter of Earth, S2498) Nationality and religion are like blood groups, it has no relation to human capacity and character, despite the superstitions and conspiracy theories; morons are found in every corner of the world, just like mavericks are found in every corner. The only difference between blood groups and nationality is that, blood groups are a fundamental factor of medical treatment, whereas nationality and religion are fleeting vestiges of an adolescent species. I opened my eyes and couldn't find a single precedent of post-national, post-religion, post-lingual, post-cultural existence, so I became the precedent. My roots go deep down to the core of earth, spread across the bones and marrow of the human race.”

“The Uncultured Idiot (Sonnet 2501-2502) My roots run deep down to the core of earth, spread across the bones and marrow of the human race. Starting out with an insatiable spark of expansion, I spent my early teens devouring scriptures, then my late teens and early twenties I spent assimilating neuroscience and psychology, but it wasn't until my late twenties, a few years after my first publication, that the original Naskarian voice started to awaken, a voice not only beyond nation, religion and culture, but also beyond eurocentric intellectual convention. So many things were unfolding in my mind at once, that it's impossible for me to piece together a coherent timeline of events. But one thing was most striking, it's that, influence of the puny eurocentric schools of thought was beginning to wear off, as cultures of the world found an ideal vessel with zero chains of tribalism. I became empty and let the world pour its wonders into me, so it did, and I burn day in, day out, and each time from the ashes a new pluralist text is born, blasting all archaic, elitist and exclusivist narrative.”

“Yabancı Yarim (Sonnet 2701) Yabancı olarak doğmak ayıp değil, ama yabancı olarak ölmek en büyük lanettir. To be born as foreigner is normal, but to die as foreigner is animal. To salute the flag is just as animal as burning a flag, to obey the scripture blind is just as savage as burning a scripture. Delegational democracy is just as undignified as autocracy, blind abidance of law is just as primitive as anarchy. I look after the world as family, so the world may look after my family, when I'm not there - that's the kind of blind faith that actually makes a difference. To curse is animal, to console, human. If you must be blind, be blind in tolerance.”

“Sonnet 2500 You're right, I am not a poet, I have not written hundreds of poems; you're right, I am not a writer, I have not written a couple of books. I'm sorry, I am not a poet, I have not written hundreds of sonnets, I have written thousands - I have not written a handful of books, I have erected a library. You do not have the scales in your two-dimensional intellect to measure the multidimensional Ecosystem of Expansion - larger than tribe, larger than time, I am Detonation of The First Multicultural Civilization.”

“Pilgrimage to Plurality (Sonnet 2499) Forget the canon, you can't even make sense of my titles, bleating like nationalist livestock, and chanting like brainless bacon - you have to have a certain amount of multicultural tendency, which in a way, is your first test of pilgrimage, moreover, it's the key to the Naskar Canon. If you have no desire to step outside your culture, there's no point in grabbing any of my text, you might as well pick up a chinese or arab text, and expect to be an expert while speaking only English. My script may be English, my language is not - remove your assumptions, transcend your disciplines; it is only through pilgrimage to plurality, that an ape ascends into humanity. My goal is not to replace white supremacy with colored supremacy, or christian supremacy with muslim supremacy, or blind faith with dispassionate logic, I am a stateless weaver of human plurality.”

“Prototype Human (Sonnet 2249) The pen is my paradise, the pen is my grave. Everybody has all the answers, I seem to have only questions. Good thing, I don't know how to write, methods are obstacle to my madness. I'm vast enough to contain the world, asylum pills don't work on pilgrim brains. My pen never runs out of ink, because the pen is an extension of my anatomy. Madness is the first sign of sanity, oneness is the seed of infinity. Stereotypes are sanity of the jungle, prejudice is sacred in the animal kingdom. Flags are the poison, cosmos is (my) kin - I am no stereotype, I am the Prototype Human.”
