Abhijit Naskar
“The only measure of judging a human being is through that person’s character, because character is not determined by race, religion, gender or social status. And one who recognizes this simple fact of human life behaves the same with the scientist, the janitor and the sex-worker.”
Abhijit Naskar, Human Making is Our Mission: A Treatise on Parenting

“Stored personal memories along with handed down collective memories of stories, legends, and history allows us to collate our interactions with a physical and social world and develop a personal code of survival. In essence, we all become self-styled sages, creating our own book of wisdom based upon our studied observations and practical knowledge gleaned from living and learning. What we quickly discover is that no textbook exist how to conduct our life, because the world has yet to produce a perfect person – an ideal observer – whom is capable of handing down a concrete exemplar of epistemic virtues. We each draw upon the guiding knowledge, theories, and advice available for us in order to explore the paradoxes, ironies, inconsistencies, and the absurdities encountered while living in a supernatural world. We mold our personal collection of information into a practical practicum how to live and die. Each day we define and redefine who we are, determine how we will react today, and chart our quest into an uncertain future.”
Kilroy J. Oldster, Dead Toad Scrolls

“Happiness is a momentary illusion created by momentary neurochemical impulses.

Abhijit Naskar, Morality Absolute

Linda Berdoll
“Sagacity did not magically arrive with age. As his family grew, so did his affections. The deeper he loved, the more easily he was injured. His heart had not become reinforced. It had softened--and ripened. It was a larger target and far more easily rent.”
Linda Berdoll, The Darcys: New Pleasures

Abhijit Naskar
“If I can provide something good to you, then take it, and use it in your life, but do not ever attempt to impose me on others as their path to salvation, for humans are their own path to salvation. Books of thinkers and teachers can be the help in that salvation, but never the drivers of that salvation.”
Abhijit Naskar, Let The Poor Be Your God
