- “Cultural and religious traditions that forbid cross-cultural unions prevent peace on earth. Instead of rejoicing that our sons and daughters are heart-driven and love other humans outside of their familiar religious, social or cultural domains, we punish and insult them. This is wrong. Honor killings are not honorable by God. They are driven by ignorance and ego and nothing more. The Creator favors the man who loves over the man who hates. If you think God will punish you or your child for allowing them to marry outside of your tribe or faith, then you do not know God. Love is his religion and the light of love sees no walls. Anybody who unconditionally loves another human being for the goodness of their heart and nothing more is already on the right side of God.” ― Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

- “When Love Awakens (The Sonnet)When love awakens so will the world,For love is the seed of civilization.When love awakens the conflicts will end,For love is the gateway to assimilation.When care crosses family suffering will wither,For selfishness is the cause of miseries.When the soul is clear enough to reflect all,All separation will turn into memories.When breath of one becomes the breath of all,All atrocious walls will collapse into dust.When there’s no more ‘my people your people’,Only then we will be human at last.When the fire of love engulfs our whole being,Time will bear witness to humanity’s uprising.” ― Abhijit Naskar, Sleepless for Society
