Famous Martin Cahill Quotes

“I still think we need tricksters to tweak the nose of tyrants. I still think we need loving, inclusive, intersectional communities that can hold space for all those who lack such a thing, and embrace them in that held space and into community. I still think there will always be a part of me that feels like Nesi: too young, too inexperienced, too anxious while also wildly passionate, eager to help, and desperate to fulfill a purpose. And I still think stories are some of the best tools we have in the world to save each other, through joy, shared experience, human connection, and the healing power of art.”

“No, I don't feel ready at all. But I don't think I ever will. Maybe it's what I've been missing the whole time, because...yeah, there has been exactly no point in all this that I've felt ready. Where answers arrived, and clarity struck, and you put a crown on my head or something and said, 'Congratulations, you did it!' I guess I just...have reached a point where someone has to do something, and if I'm not that someone, nothing will happen and nothing will get better, or have the hope of getting better. So, no, I'm sure as hells not ready. Which is why I know it's time to start moving anyway.”
