“What if, instead, we treated this life as heaven? Heaven is at hand? That we have to find it, make it for ourselves. Work as if we were already living in the early days of a better world.”
Stephanie Sy-Quia

“To live a quiet life: this too can be a radical political act.”
Stephanie Sy-Quia, A Private Man
