On Creativity as Resistance
“ Truth, once heard or seen, cannot be unheard or unseen. It’s strong and we have to say it. We have to sing it. We have to keep it going because people are trying to trample it right now. So that is the main thing that I am resisting trying to gut our Constitution and say that it’s okay — it’s NOT okay. So we cannot accept that. We cannot accept that.” ~Sue Fink
”I think we’re sharing and enlightening people about humanity, about our own personal humanity and, and therefore, you know, the human condition at large. That’s to me the most important thing I can do because even if someone disagrees with me politically, they might understand if I open my heart, that they also can open their heart. And that’s how change happens.” ~Wendy Parman
