Human Race Quotes

“For everything in this journey of life we are on, there is a right wing and a left wing: for the wing of love there is anger; for the wing of destiny there is fear; for the wing of pain there is healing; for the wing of hurt there is forgiveness; for the wing of pride there is humility; for the wing of giving there is taking; for the wing of tears there is joy; for the wing of rejection there is acceptance; for the wing of judgment there is grace; for the wing of honor there is shame; for the wing of letting go there is the wing of keeping. We can only fly with two wings and two wings can only stay in the air if there is a balance. Two beautiful wings is perfection. There is a generation of people who idealize perfection as the existence of only one of these wings every time. But I see that a bird with one wing is imperfect. An angel with one wing is imperfect. A butterfly with one wing is dead. So this generation of people strive to always cut off the other wing in the hopes of embodying their ideal of perfection, and in doing so, have created a crippled race.”
― C. JoyBell C.

“Whether it's men, women—it doesn't really matter. The human race is filled with passion and lust. And to coin terms like heterosexuality, homosexuality or even bisexuality makes no sense to me. You are human. You love who you love. You fuck who you fuck. That should be enough—no labels. No stigmas. Nothing. Just be to be.
But life isn't that kind. People will always find things to hate.”
― Krista Ritchie, Kiss the Sky

“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 had always disgusted me. essentially, what made them disgusting was the family-relationship illness, which included marriage, exchange of power and aid, which neighborhood, your district, your city, your county, your state, your nation-everybody grabbing each other's assholes in the Honeycomb of survival out of a fear-animalistic stupidity.”
― Charles Bukowski, Erections, Ejaculations, Exhibitions, and General Tales of Ordinary Madness

“I never let myself forget that every single person I meet is a member of this human race. And that includes you, professor, listening to this testimony. As it includes myself.”
― Han Kang, Human Acts

“The Internet is the Petri dish of humanity. We can't control what grows in it, but we don't have to watch either.”
― Tiffany Madison

“Well, there are times when one would like to hang the whole human race and finish the farce.”
― Mark Twain

“Indeed it may be said with some confidence that the average man never really thinks from end to end of his life. There are moments when his cogitations are relatively more respectable than usual, but even at their climaxes they never reach anything properly describable as the level of serious thought. The mental activity of such people is only a mouthing of clichés. What they mistake for thought is simply a repetition of what they have heard. My guess is that well over eighty per cent. of the human race goes through life without having a single original thought. That is to say, they never think anything that has not been thought before and by thousands.”
― H.L. Mencken, Minority Report

“What struck me, in reading the reports from Sri Lanka, was the mild disgrace of belonging to our imperfectly evolved species in the first place. People who had just seen their neighbors swept away would tell the reporters that they knew a judgment had been coming, because the Christians had used alcohol and meat at Christmas or because ... well, yet again you can fill in the blanks for yourself. It was interesting, though, to notice that the Buddhists were often the worst. Contentedly patting an image of the chubby lord on her fencepost, a woman told the New York Times that those who were not similarly protected had been erased, while her house was still standing. There were enough such comments, almost identically phrased, to make it seem certain that the Buddhist authorities had been promulgating this consoling and insane and nasty view. That would not surprise me.”
― Christopher Hitchens

“There's no doomsday scheme made specifically for mankind,
only higher agenda and priority than human race preservation.”
― Toba Beta, My Ancestor Was an Ancient Astronaut

“In English we say: when in Rome, do as the Romans do. In Naskarian we say: when on Earth, do as a Human should.”

“In English we say:
slow and steady wins the race.
In Naskarian we say:
care and duty heal the race.”

“In English we say: no man is an island. In Naskarian we say: Earth is an island, our only shelter is each other.”

“The human race, a complex weave of diverse minds,
United in our quest for knowledge and a desire to leave our mark on time.”

“Technology and innovation may aid, speed, support and even prolong the human race - but only compassion can save it.”

“Kein Über, Kein Mensch
(Naskaristana 2781)

Kein Über, kein Mensch,
Ich bin divine madness -
proud heathen and responsible traitor,
not tall, not armed, just undaunted.

Divine by deed, not by decree,
courier of culture, not nationality -
loud enemy of the nationalist state,
with no dogcollar of brainless loyalty.

Infant cattle are branded with hot iron,
infant apes are branded with hot ideology -
vaccines may scar the skin, but fortify the body,
while nationalities only fracture our humanity.

Mainly because apes cannot fathom existence
of one community without demonizing another -
doesn't matter whether you're a global citizen,
just don't confuse domestication with tradition.

Kein Über, kein Mensch, kein Zarathustra -
braver than nuclear, I'm neurochemical warfare.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Nazmahal: Palace of Grace

“Infant cattle are branded with hot iron, infant apes are branded with hot ideology - vaccines may scar the skin, but fortify the body, while nationalities only fracture our humanity.”

“Every human is an African diaspora.”

“There's a difference between Homo Sapiens and Human - Homo Sapiens is a meaningless technicality, Human is a lived promise.”

“9 Billion Shades of Brown
(Black History Month Sonnet)

Nothing is black and white in this world,
everything is a shade of black,
even white is just a pale shade of black,
or we should say, brown -

nothing is black, nothing is white,
everything is a shade of brown,
everyone is a shade of brown.

Ethnicity is a commodity of fear,
prejudice is a commodity of power -
Mother Africa is the cradle of humanity,
Global South is the cradle of civilization.

Everything that white people have ever written
consists of only 1 percent of the human condition,
yet you confuse it as the entire human condition.

There is no black history month,
the entire human race calendar is black.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Hazrat-e Humanity: The Uncultured Polyglot

“Mother Africa is the cradle of humanity, Global South is the cradle of civilization.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Hazrat-e Humanity: The Uncultured Polyglot

“You haven't even started living a multicultural life, like a proper human being, and you're obsessing with the multiverse!”

“If you want to establish plurality on planet earth, you must first dismantle the historic desecrator of plurality, which is eurocentrism.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Hazrat-e Humanity: The Uncultured Polyglot

“The soil is older than every border,
older than flags and state decree.
Earth is property of no brute empire,
nor promised prize of manifest atrocity.”
― Abhijit Naskar, With Love From A Blue Rock

“This would mean nothing if a white person said this, but I tell you as a colored person - oneness is the greatest of paradox, where we must call out history for its horrors, but at the same time we must be big enough not to dwell in the past, otherwise the present will never bloom - we must let love simmer, without being consumed by contempt, otherwise atrocity will never end, only switch sides.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Tierra Carta: Naskar Charter of Earth

“Earthlog Sonnet 3001

In a tiny backwater of the milkyway galaxy
there spins a hilarious blue pebble called earth,
which is dominated by a species of monkeys,
whose lives primarily revolve around power,

first it was prophets, then it was kings,
later it was ceo's, and all these top monkeys claim
to seek power in the interest of their people,
they even have an earth-specific name for this
seemingly idealistic sentiment, they call it "humanity,"

but by the time they reach to the top,
they have hardly any trace of humanity left -

whereas the only people who stand as exception
to the traditional ape-hunger for power,
are often ordinary individuals, who care neither
for power nor fame, yet carry out the majority
HUMANly duties on behalf of their entire species.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Naskar Goes to Earth: Field Notes from A Planet of Apes

“Humans are like the trees of planet earth, extremely rare in the universe, yet still wasted.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Naskar Goes to Earth: Field Notes from A Planet of Apes

“Earthlog 3002-3003

In many of the monkey nations of earth
their local governments often ban books,
and yet not a single earth country
has banned guns, not a single one -

in some countries you just need money,
in some countries you need a licence,
in others you need to be a soldier or copper,
but not a single country has actually banned guns,
they even ban websites and apps at the slightest
political inconvenience, but never guns.

These are the same animals that
claim to be an intelligent species,
they even cook up aristocratic names
for themselves, such as "sapiens",
meaning wise, or "humanity", implying
qualities like kindness and tolerance!

For a species only a couple of hundred thousand
years old, these hairless apes do have some
intelligence, there's no doubt about that,
but their intelligence seems to have a knack
more for destruction than good -

not only that, they even set up establishments
to normalize their incessant bloodlust as tradition,
and punish dissenters as traitors!

Earth monkeys confuse terrorism for civilization,
exploitation for exploration, prejudice for heritage,
inequality for economy, indifference for democracy,
in fact, there are very few lifeforms in the galaxy
as cannibalistic as the monkeys of the blue rock,
despite being ridiculously capable in every respect.

Humans are like the trees of planet earth,
extremely rare in the universe, yet still wasted.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Naskar Goes to Earth: Field Notes from A Planet of Apes

“Blood has no religion,
breath has no nationality.
Skin color indicates climate,
the race of the soul is kindness.”

“Every Culture is My Culture (The Song)

[Verse 1]
With infinite love brimming in my heart,
I have arrived at your doorstep.
Please my friend, do not turn me back,
let kindness grant a little space.

It's not my fault I wasn't born
inside the world you call your own,
but I have carried your culture in me,
like seeds of love I've grown.


[Pre-Chorus]
I may not speak your native tongue,
I may not know your way of life,
but do you not smile the way I smile,
do you not cry in pain and strife?

[Chorus]
Naskar sings to the human soul -
heed no hate, break the border.
Every country is my country,
every culture is my culture.

Now go burn with human fire,
let the tribal walls all fall.
Every country is my country.
every people is my world.

[Verse 2]
No more hatred, no segregation,
no more "your people and mine".
No more flags dividing hearts,
no more borders in the mind.

Every people ever wronged
are our people everywhere,
every tear that falls in silence
is a burden we must share.

[Pre-Chorus]
To hell with skin and flag and throne,
to hell with pride that blinds the soul.
Human hearts are one horizon,
love alone will make us whole.

[Chorus]
Naskar sings to the human soul -
heed no hate, break the border.
Every country is my country,
every culture is my culture.

Now go burn with human fire,
let the tribal walls all fall.
Every country is my country,
every people is my world.

[Bridge]
Blood doesn't make us human,
skin doesn't make us kind.
Culture cannot crown compassion,
love alone defines the mind.

When the suffering of another
makes us forget our name,
then the human race awakens
from its ancient tribal shame.

[Final Chorus]
Naskar calls the humans high -
let compassion lead us through.
Every country is my country,
every culture is mine too.

Rise and light the world tonight,
till the walls of hatred fall.
Every country is my country,
every people is my world.

[Outro]
Here I stand with arms outstretched,
at every door across the land.
Hold them with love and walk beside me,
for together we will stand.”
