Global Citizen Quotes

“The human body resonates at the same frequency as Mother Earth. So instead of only focusing on trying to save the earth, which operates in congruence to our vibrations, I think it is more important to be one with each other. If you really want to remedy the earth, we have to mend mankind. And to unite mankind, we heal the Earth. That is the only way. Mother Earth will exist with or without us. Yet if she is sick, it is because mankind is sick and separated. And if our vibrations are bad, she reacts to it, as do all living creatures.”
― Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

“One World is not abolishing frontiers, which would lead to a surge in migration, create tension and destabilise life on our planet.

the human race.”

“The Great Superstition (Sonnet)

Fundamentalists radicalize
children for illegal terrorism,
nationalists radicalize
children for legal terrorism,

I radicalize children for peace-n-oneness,
using only their brain and backbone,
without spilling the blood of human.
Only leeches live by guns and call it honor,
brainwashed by the witchcraft of patriotism.

Fundamentalism, nationalism, these are the real
witchcraft, still practiced by modern savages.
Teachers, coppers, politicians, civil servants,
all (most) mindlessly carry the paradigm of death.

Give me a hundred humanitarian hearts,
I'll wipe out the very concept of war.
Pack your flags with other talismans,
there is no greater superstition
than the superstition of nation.”

“We need patriotism, yes we do, but not the one practiced by our ancestors. We need a civilized patriotism, one that is devoid of all sectarianism and cultural supremacy. We gotta be patriotic towards humanity, not nationality - we gotta be patriotic for justice and equality, not supremacy - we gotta be patriotic for inclusion, not the exclusive sustenance of our own dignity at the expense of the dignity of others.

We need a patriotism where there is no us and them - we need a patriotism where there is no lord and laymen - we need a patriotism where there is no savior and subject - we need a patriotism where our savior is our sense of virtue - we need a patriotism where our queen is our accountability - we need a patriotism where our constitution and gospel are our own conscience.”

“Original Vow (Anti Fascist Sonnet)

By race we are all african,
by birth we are all feminist,
by nature we are all lovers,
by suffering we are all poets.

You know, which nation has the nicest people?
You cannot guess in a million years.
The nation with the nicest people is, Earth, for
no nation has exclusive franchise over niceness -

goodness is a human quality, not a national one.
Nationalism is an animal trait, not a human one.
Sacredness is a secular practice, not sectarian.
Culture is an act of expansion, not exclusion.

Bella ciao, we're not going back
to the jungle, not ever, not now.
Hate not permitted while I stand,
this, is the original divine vow.”

“No borders drawn in dust,
no flags dividing the wind.
Just earth—shared, sacred—
paths open like arms,
languages dancing together,
not clashing, but blending.
In such a world—
you and I are not strangers,
but verses of the same song.”
