I don't see myself as an activist. I understand that people, with me doing 'Satyameva Jayate,' for example, they will feel that I'm being an activist, but I'm not. Actually, I'm not, because I think an activist, as I see it, as a person who is very, very - takes up one issue and remains with that one issue for his entire life. I'm not doing that.

If a man is crossing the river and an empty boat collides with his skiff, even though he is a bad tempered man he will not become very angry. But if he sees a man in the other boat he will scream and shout and curse at the man to steer clear. If you can empty your own boat crossing the river of the world, no one will oppose you, no one will seek to harm you. Thus is the perfect man - his boat is empty.

Zhuangzi

In a mucked up lovely river, I cast my little fly. I look at that river and smell it And it makes me want to cry. Oh to clean our dirty planet, Now there's a noble wish, And I'm puttin' my shoulder to the wheel 'Cause I wanna catch some fish.

This Maya is everywhere. It is terrible. Yet we have to work through it. The man who says that he will work when the world has become all good and then he will enjoy bliss is as likely to succeed as the man who sits beside the Ganga and says, "I will ford the river when all the water has run into the ocean."

Swami Vivekananda

When I hear the words 'activist filmmaking,' I think of somebody who's an activist, who wants to prove a particular point.

I would be an activist but never a politician. As an activist, nobody owns you.

I never really saw myself as an activist but at some point the activist is the only moral position to take.

Don't swim against the current. Stay in the river, become the river; and the river is already going to the sea. This is the great teaching.

Rajneesh

There's a very fine line between political comedian and activist, and I don't really think I fall over into the activist category.

Samantha Bee

No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man.

Heraclitus

If I wanted to take a more activist or journalistic slant in work, I should probably just go be an activist or a journalist. But I'm happy being a comedian.
