“In order to make an impact on the political process, you need quantity. You need moronic, chanting hordes. There is no way around this. Communism was not overthrown by Andrei Sakharov, Joseph Brodsky and Václav Havel. It was overthrown by moronic, chanting hordes. I suppose I shouldn’t be rude about it, but it’s a fact that there is no such thing as a crowd of philosophers.
Yet Communism was overthrown by Sakharov, Brodsky and Havel. The philosophers did matter. What was needed was the combination of philosopher and crowd—a rare and volatile mixture, highly potent and highly unnatural.
My view is that up until the very last stage of the reset, quality is everything and quantity is, if anything, undesirable. On the Internet, ideas spread like crazy. And they are much more likely to spread from the smart to the dumb than the other way around.”

“The light is faint as the hare last exhale.
From thy soul will they pass into Paradise or into Lost.
How the nails are driven into the paws of the rabbit, how it wears the crown of thorns,
how it drapes ridiculous on the cross;
as it ridicules a living God.”

“It's deplorable that academia should prostitute itself, but there it is. Not even Harvard is above it. In fact, Harvard least of all, with that ludicrous delusion of self-importance that makes every Harvard professor feel he's a public intellectual, qualified to comment on issues far beyond his expertise.”

“To lovers out there ...
Never share your sexual pleasures or bedroom activities with friends about your partner, unless you are seeking help on how to improve, spice up things or to make it better, but If you are doing it as performance appraisal. Remember Not all of them will be happy for you. Some will want to experience that for themselves. For them to do that . It means they need your partner . Some people will go for your partner , not because they love them, but it is because of how they treat you.”

“Not all isolated people are philosophers, but all great philosophers are isolated people. Social life for them is a distraction and a waste of time. Philosophers may seem to suffer from social phobia or other closely related mental illnesses, but in standard mental states it is nearly impossible to philosophize on deep metaphysical (and logical) questions.”

“The Price I Pay (The Sonnet)
I spent my life in the depth of heart,
So my social skills are a little lacking.
Either they want me to be deep always,
Or they simply call me rather cheesy.
Whenever I try small talking as human,
I fail and fail again most spectacularly.
That's the price I pay for being your rock,
A timeless pillar unfit for warmth and amity.
Mine is not to ask why, mine is to do or die,
A path in which I turned my life into an idea.
Still it'd be nice to be treated as a human,
It'd be nice to feel the gentleness of another.
There is no greatness without weakness.
Greats must persevere no matter the coldness.”
― Mücadele Muhabbet: Gospel of An Unarmed Soldier

“Within seconds of being bound,
everyone felt deathly;
yet they could not die,
death was not visible;
eternal was their God,
the one who cannot be heard.
Their eyes were carved out,
Their teeth were sawed off,
Their legs were amputated,
Their intestines were ripped out,
and they were nailed to the beams by their wrist.
After their formal lives in the world ended, the damned sang songs of tears; they were emptied of the memories of their loved ones, and they were tortured by demons in an indescribable sense of suffering.
Since the divine creator is actually dead, he lures them into believing in something that does not exist by making them believe that he is real and loving. In fact, he is the Devil himself.”

“We may be living through strife, through loss of life, through tragedy, but that does not mean we should endure a grueling passing of our heavy burdens, but a victorious one that will make our adversaries squeamish when they encounter the victor inside of us. We have a defending soul inside all of us, and our enemies will not be victorious if we unite together as an army of allegiance that will annihilate the opponents that once believed would ultimately prevail their monstrous ambition to enslave the world with their malice of tyrannical leadership.”

“Ensure you never disrupt someone's peace of mind if they find their true identity. If they discover their purpose, let them be themselves. Teaching them to love like a beautiful flower is more important than teaching them to condemn the world with religious indoctrination that is like a tsunami destructing their own ray of colorful sunlight.”

“I am a scientist, but don't make the mistake of thinking of me as yet another shaky scientist. Before I was a scientist, I was a monk - before I was a monk, I was an engineering student – and even before that I was a martial artist. So be very careful, for there's nothing more dangerous than a wounded scientist. Science is literally the only super power in the world. And I’ve been playing with science, before I could speak english. When my teenage peers were obsessing over getting high, I was obsessed with building circuits. I gave it all up, because society has plenty innovators, but zero reformer scientist.”

“Why do we as animals often struggle to cope with suffering and devastation that occurs because we are so far removed from our dear loved ones who have departed from us forever in the heavenly realms or when we encounter a challenge in our own life situations that may take us down a downward path of emotional disempowerment?" The Rabbit remarked.
The eagle responded, "to achieve an environment of lasting peace, we need adversity and the harrowing experience of living through tragic events. No matter how hard we may strive, it is inevitable that we will all have to endure hardship at some period of time in our journey through our lives. Every animal inherits the same inherent defect, just like the wind will carry us away into the infinite abyss at the very moment of death. While you may decide to pursue happiness, you may also have the choice to suffer grieving as well, and it is up to you, as all of us will always have the gift of guilt which is keeping us in the present circumstances that we find ourselves in.”

We became so strong that it takes only one of our own to destroy us or to end us.”
