Humanist Quotes

“I am an atheist, out and out. It took me a long time to say it. I've been an atheist for years and years, but somehow I felt it was intellectually unrespectable to say one was an atheist, because it assumed knowledge that one didn't have. Somehow, it was better to say one was a humanist or an agnostic. I finally decided that I'm a creature of emotion as well as of reason. Emotionally, I am an atheist. I don't have the evidence to prove that God doesn't exist, but I so strongly suspect he doesn't that I don't want to waste my time.”
― Isaac Asimov

“I am a humanist, which means, in part, that I have tried to behave decently without expectations of rewards or punishments after I am dead.”
― Kurt Vonnegut

“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

“Naskargen (Sonnet 3000)

It all started with a promise -
Liberty is my religion, Humans are my God;
what took to paper as a penniless dream,
ignited the planet with culture of integration.

Journey of civilization begins with
one person rejecting an outdated tradition,
evolution of apes to human begins with
one person disposing of their flag in a museum.

Divinity of the past was based in sky-fiction,
divinity of the present must be rooted in life;
science of the robots revolves around metal,
science of the humans must center around mind.

Faith fixated on no prophecy, no propaganda,
I entrust my promise upon you,
my promise, my rebellion, my madness -
if there is not a single Naskar in sight,
be the Naskar of your generation.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Tierra Carta: Naskar Charter of Earth

“If there is not a single Naskar in sight, be the Naskar of your generation.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Tierra Carta: Naskar Charter of Earth

“The Naskar Controversy (Sonnet 2525)

Yes, Naskar is a controversial figure,
not because I sell antivaxx nonsense,
not because I sell eugenics nonsense,
not because I sell patriotic garbage,
not because I sell newage garbage, in fact,
these are the very germs my life disinfects -

I am controversial because my backbone
doesn't seek validation from no institution,
either faith based or intellectual -

I am controversial because the planet of apes
cannot quite figure out the sectarian membership
of my post-discipline, post-dogma, post-cultural,
post-national, post-fanatic, post-algorithmic mind -
and anything that apes cannot understand, apes mistrust,
not just apes of ritual, but also apes of intellect.

I am controversial because I ask for tolerance,
I am controversial because I'm integration incarnate,
I am controversial because I call for humanity,
at the expense of both faith and facts.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Hazrat-e Humanity: The Uncultured Polyglot

“I am controversial because I ask for tolerance, I am controversial because I'm integration incarnate, I am controversial because I call for humanity, at the expense of both faith and facts.”

“My Planet, My Duty
(Sonnet 2526)

My sonnets, my rules -
my science, my rules -
my theology, my rules -
my universe, my rules;

my dream, my right -

my life, my ethics -
my body, my choice;

my divinity, my design -
my truth, my decision -
my society, my justice -
my planet, my duty.”
