Chapter 4 | Choice

I can be hounded into silence by life’s uncertainties. There are moments in life, especially motherhood or politics, in which I’m simply baffled. I can’t make sense out of what I think I’m seeing. I don’t know what to say in such moments so it’s prudent to choose silence and say nothing.”

 

CHAPTER 16 | Family of Choice

“It appears from the constant patter of 24-hour news that we Americans are so divided, polarized, and angry that anything resembling a ‘community’ has disappeared. From a social and communal point of view, we’re busted.”

 

Chapter 7 | Witness 

“There’s really no such thing as the ‘voiceless.' There are only the deliberately silenced, or the preferably unheard.” Arundhati Roy

 

 “Since the first time we met, more than 30 years ago, Mary and I have shared a deep commitment to advocacy for those who cannot advocate for themselves.”

Because of Mary’s example, millions of AIDS/HIV patients are living fearlessly with compassion and activism in the face of discrimination and despair. Reading her inspiring words teaches all of us that each of us can make a difference.”
