Abhijit Naskar
“Life is undoubtedly born of biology, but if a lifeform strictly constructs all its perception living inside the ship-shape well of biology, despite having developed the brain capacity to be beyond it, then it is a disgusting mockery of life itself.”

Abhijit Naskar
“All species on earth are related to one another like cousins and distant kin in a vast family tree of life.”
