I don't know who originally said it, but the sentiment of "I am a citizen of the world" resonates deeply with me.
It's a stoic principle.

Socrates or Diogenes ?

I'm not sure if any one stoic used the exact wording but from what I've read it seems the general concept of cosmopolitism was a big part of the philosophy. This is often described as being a "citizen of the world". To me it means rejecting the arbitrary tribalism of identity politics and embracing the value of each individual qua individual.
