“Contemporary attitudes toward urban parks fall into three levels of sophistication. The first, the most naive assumption, is that parks are just plots of land preserved in their original state. If asked to discuss the issue at all, many laymen have maintained this much, that parks are bits of nature created only in the sense that some decision was made not to build on the land. Many are surprised to learn that parks that an artifact conceived and deliberated as carefully as public buildings, with both physical shape and social usage taken into account. The second, a little more informed, is that parks are aesthetic objects and that their history can be understood in terms of an evolution of artistic styles independent of societal considerations. The third is the view that each of the elements of the urban park represents part of planners' strategy for moral and social reform, so that today, as in the past, the citizen visiting a park is subject to an accumulated set of intended moral lessons.”

“Sonnet of Expansion
I expect nothing from the world,
I have no desire to impress society.
I only care for its wellbeing,
Hence I simply do my human duty.
Don't know whether I'm left or right,
Which I don't give a damn about.
World has enough conflicts as it is,
One more duality we can do without.
Expansion is the other name of life,
Without which we are dead and rotten.
If we are not willing to evolve,
Humankind will be soon forgotten.
If today's thought is the same as yesterday,
Despite all achievements we are going astray.”

“सबसे महत्वपूर्ण सत्य यह है कि स्त्री स्वयंवर में जीती जाने वाली कोई ‘वस्तु’ नहीं है। प्रतियोगिताएँ तो मात्र आधार हैं। यदि राजकुमारी ने पहले ही अपने मन में किसी का वरण कर लिया है, तो भी हमें उनकी इच्छा का सम्मान करना चाहिए। विवाह एक व्यक्तिगत निर्णय है, न कि किसी कौशल अथवा शक्ति-प्रदर्शन का पुरस्कार!”

“Shake The World Savaşçı (The Sonnet)
Shake the world savaşçı,
The world is only a reflection of you.
Break the mold o kahraman,
In a civilized time these molds won't do.
Your story is the one of a warrior,
Not the one fighting with weapon.
You are the hero without arms,
Your power is your determination.
One person can end a war,
If they give all to the making of peace.
You are the answer to the world's prayers,
But you must keep your prejudice on leash.
Go sleepless, starving and unappraised if needed.
Be the guerra of inclusion and unite the divided.”

“I Dream of A World Civilized (The Sonnet)
I dream of a world civilized,
Where color of skin is nothing.
But when I look at the present,
It poses a challenge to my dreaming.
I envision a society night and day,
Where law is not necessary.
But when I look at the world today,
I realize how far it's from reality.
I dream of a world most human,
Beyond all gender and sexuality.
But when I look at the moment's truth,
It is far too distant from that humanity.
Yet difficulties only add value to a dream.
If not today when will our journey begin!”

“Reform starts with radicals.”
Source: Dervish Advaitam: Gospel of Sacred Feminines and Holy Fathers
“Some want to turn the clock back, harkening back to some golden age of nostalgia, when women, children, the lower class, parishioners, and people of other races and creeds knew their place; not back to the 1950s, but further back: to Dickensian times and to (corporate) feudal fiefdom. They want to wind the clock back to a time before the hard-won battles for civil rights, social reforms, and worker representation. A time long, long before the “woke virus”, “illegal immigrants”, and gender identity, when life was more conservative and white lives mattered; though with a new, fundamentalist, Christian nationalist (or Islamist, or ultra-Zionist, or even atheist) and isolationist twist. And some will go to any lengths – and I do mean any desperate, violent, draconian lengths – to bring this vile and unholy vision about. [From Preface]”
