Greed And Corruption Quotes

“Five years earlier when I arrived at Facebook, Mark didn't have a theory of how he and the company should be in the world; he didn't really have developed opinions about policy or politics, beyond "sign up more users." The rest of Facebook's leadership wasn't very different. Mark really couldn't be bothered to care. Now he's developed priorities, and they're mostly pretty horrible and ignorant of the human costs.”
― Sarah Wynn-Williams, Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism

“You are still worried about machines taking over your lives! Your lives are already taken over, not by mechanical deities but by organic sectarian deities born of the womb of your own indifference.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Either Reformist or Terrorist: If You Are Terror I Am Your Grandfather

“Selfless Nuts (The Sonnet)

If someone wants to do harm they'll do harm,
Whether they have nukes or sticks and stone.
If someone wants to do good they'll do good,
Whether they have a billion dollars or just one.
Intention is the mother of all good deeds 'n bad,
It has got nothing to do with having resources.
With intention one bread can feed ten people,
It cannot feed even one when there is no intent.
A world that is run by greed stops for nobody,
Who cares what such a world thinks as righteous!
In such a world you gotta throw caution to the wind,
And stand as pillar of service among the retards.
Long enough snobbish retards have ruled the world!
Now it is time for selfless nuts to take charge.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Either Reformist or Terrorist: If You Are Terror I Am Your Grandfather

“Be A Tesla (The Sonnet)

In a world full of Elon Musks,
Be a Dan Price.
Use entrepreneurship to instill equity,
Not as a vessel of disparity's vice.
In a world full of Jordan Petersons,
Be a Jiddu Krishnamurti.
Use intellect to expand perception,
Not to turn back the clock of primitivity.
In a world full of Donald Trumps,
Be a Dolly Parton, be an Ocasio-Cortez.
Use fame and politics to alleviate anguish,
Not to feed on people's distress.
Let others adore the crook Edison all they wanna.
You for one be a Marie Curie, be a Nikola Tesla.”
― Abhijit Naskar, High Voltage Habib: Gospel of Undoctrination

“Love, Latitude, Longitude (The Sonnet)

Love knows no latitude,
Love knows no longitude.
Love only knows to be,
Annihilated in servitude.
Love knows no aptitude,
Love knows no sanctitude.
Love only knows to give,
And wind up a destitute.
A destitute lover is wealthier,
Than a loveless billionaire.
Prison of gold is still a prison,
Our own greed makes us prisoner.
Eyes off the gold and hands on the heart!
Thus we shall wipe out all the world's dirt.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Find A Cause Outside Yourself: Sermon of Sustainability

“So long as greed drives the economy, it's not economy, but catastrophe.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Ingan Impossible: Handbook of Hatebusting

“Financial Freedom (The Sonnet)

Financial freedom doesn't mean,
To be free from money troubles.
Financial freedom actually means,
Freedom from obsession of dollar bills.
When the mind learns to distinguish,
Between luxury and actual necessity.
That's the beginning of financial freedom,
That's the beginning of economic stability.
Modern economy is the antithesis of sustainability,
Where financial freedom is bait to the suckers.
Actual necessities of life are very little,
But first you gotta break free from the predators.
We gotta wake up from materialism to be free.
Or else, scheme after scheme we'll be ever unfree.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Ingan Impossible: Handbook of Hatebusting

“Modern economy is the antithesis of sustainability.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Ingan Impossible: Handbook of Hatebusting

“Progress and partisanism don't go together,
Dollarism and sustainability don't go together.
Undisparity and materialism don't go together,
Secularism and superstition don't go together.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Amantes Assemble: 100 Sonnets of Servant Sultans

“Amantes Assemble Sonnet 63

Love is a lamp,
That the sane cannot light.
Peace is poetry,
That the sober cannot write.
Growth is green,
That the greedy cannot plant.
Insight is a state,
That the pompous cannot land.
Society is a cup of tea,
That the selfish cannot make.
World is a responsibility,
That the animals cannot take.
However, it's okay if the world feels too heavy.
Start by taking your neighborhood's responsibility.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Amantes Assemble: 100 Sonnets of Servant Sultans

“The world needs hands of humanness,
Not tentacles of authoritarianism.
The world needs the madness to make billions smile,
Not the mad pursuit of billionairism.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Amantes Assemble: 100 Sonnets of Servant Sultans

“Greed makes us narrow,
Greed shrinks our soul.
Beyond greed lies gallantry,
Beyond greed all is whole.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Visvavatan: 100 Demilitarization Sonnets

“Humans poisoned rivers and the air we breathe.
Humans cut shade, fruit, and forests.
Humans poisoned insects, animals, and birds.
Humans broke the soil and called it progress.
Humans named destruction “development.”
Humans changed the seasons.
And the innocent paid —
with hunger, restlessness, and silence —
for human greed.”
― Rema Thankappan
