“In a society where people have the status of "free citizens," it is important to ensure that all people have the same rights and opportunities. This includes the right to work, the right to safety, and the right to be treated with respect. Sex workers are just as much "free citizens" as anyone else, and they deserve to be treated with the same dignity and respect.”

“Life, from the moment it began on this planet covered by a delicate and fragile atmosphere, has had to battle against countless challenges that threaten its very survival every single second. Beyond this thin layer of air, life, as we know it, cannot exist. Therefore, we must protect our lives fiercely, like shielding a flame from the wind or preserving a beautiful bubble from bursting, or like a dew drop sparkling in the morning sun that we don’t want to let fall. We need to cherish this life intensely and intimately.”

“If anything in the universe is sacred or valuable, it’s life itself. We should love our lives deeply. The universe has no other way to understand itself apart from life, and it does so in many different forms. Life gives meaning to the universe; there’s no need for any additional purpose to life. Simply being alive is a complete and fulfilling experience in itself.”
