Abhijit Naskar
“What is life - life is not merely the functional expression of protoplasmic substance - it is the functional expression of protoplasmic substance that holds unimaginable potential for growth and progress.”
Abhijit Naskar, Time to Save Medicine

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, A Push in Perception
