“We won't die secret deaths anymore. The world only spins forward. We will be citizens. The time has come. Bye now. You are fabulous creatures, each and every one. And I bless you: More Life. The Great Work Begins.”
― Tony Kushner, Angels in America

“Only in silence the word,
Only in dark the light,
Only in dying life:
Bright the hawk's flight
On the empty sky.

—The Creation of Éa”
― Ursula K. Le Guin

“The virus is fostering a commonality that we weren’t aware of, a biological commonality, where someone else’s health and behavior can really affect our own—whether they have health insurance, whether they are wearing their mask.

― Philip Clayton, The New Possible: Visions of Our World beyond Crisis
