Global Citizen Quotes

“The human body resonates at the same frequency as Mother Earth. So instead of only focusing on trying to save the earth, which operates in congruence to our vibrations, I think it is more important to be one with each other. If you really want to remedy the earth, we have to mend mankind. And to unite mankind, we heal the Earth. That is the only way. Mother Earth will exist with or without us. Yet if she is sick, it is because mankind is sick and separated. And if our vibrations are bad, she reacts to it, as do all living creatures.”
― Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

the human race.”

“Original Vow (Anti Fascist Sonnet)

By race we are all african,
by birth we are all feminist,
by nature we are all lovers,
by suffering we are all poets.

You know, which nation has the nicest people?
You cannot guess in a million years.
The nation with the nicest people is, Earth, for
no nation has exclusive franchise over niceness -

goodness is a human quality, not a national one.
Nationalism is an animal trait, not a human one.
Sacredness is a secular practice, not sectarian.
Culture is an act of expansion, not exclusion.

Bella ciao, we're not going back
to the jungle, not ever, not now.
Hate not permitted while I stand,
this, is the original divine vow.”

“No borders drawn in dust,
no flags dividing the wind.
Just earth—shared, sacred—
paths open like arms,
languages dancing together,
not clashing, but blending.
In such a world—
you and I are not strangers,
but verses of the same song.”

“Earthistani - The Unpatriot Anthem (2505)

There is only one nation I give a damn about,
there is only one religion I give a damn about,
there is only one tradition I give a damn about,
there is only one culture I give a damn about -

there is only one scripture I give a damn about,
there is only one constitution I give a damn about,
there is only one sacred I give a damn about,
there is only one science I give a damn about -

the scripture I heed is conscience,
the constitution I heed is backbone,
the science I practice is service,
the sacred I hold is oneness -

marham na mazhab dekhe,
marham na dekhe mulk,
la medicina no ve la fe,
my existence is the proof -

the culture I carry is integration,
the tradition I carry is tolerance,
the religion I carry is reformation -
armed with a hundred billion nerve cells,
here I stand Human, My Nation, Earthistan!”
