As ordinary things often do
Just lately. The shopping. A walk in the park.
This is peace and contentment. It's new.”

“In today’s crisis of climate destruction, there will be moments – maybe they are happening right now, maybe they happened recently – that will later be narrated as turning points, when the devastating knowledge hits home to a greater and greater number that we are treating the earth as a slave, and that this exploitation is profoundly unethical. We are still seeking a language for this ethics.”
― Isabella Hammad, Recognising the Stranger: On Palestine and Narrative

“The otherness that comes at you from the world has been inside you all along.”
― Isabella Hammad, Recognising the Stranger: On Palestine and Narrative
