For the professional troublemaker, the truth, of ourselves and of the things around us, is more important than the fear that stops us from pursuing it. The things we must do are more significant than the things we are afraid to do. It doesn’t mean we don’t realize there are consequences. It means we acknowledge that they may come but we insist on keeping on.

“You are a child of the universe / no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. . . .”
