“I don't want patriots that hang from flagpoles, and salute with backbone dangling from their derriere, I want patriots who wear their heart on their chest, carry their backbone as battery, and their brain as gear.”
― Aşkoholic: Portrait of A Human
― Aşkoholic: Portrait of A Human
“Rationalism has its use, but when devoid of empathy it's as useless as blind faith. Try telling a starving child, hunger is illusion; try telling a refugee, safety is delusion; philosophy detached from life is a sign of moral degeneration, not illumination - intelligence detached from empathy is the ultimate delusion.
Or better yet, come close, let me stuff your ugly militant mouth with a handful of scorching hot chili peppers, then let me give you a five hour lecture on the chemistry of H2O and its relation to life, before offering you a glass of water. First compassion, then rationalism; first humanity, then philosophy.”
