“Harapan memang bukanlah optimisme. Dalam harapan ada yang jauh lebih dalam daripada sekadar optimisme. Sulitnya meraba dan menyatakan harapan macam ini akan terasa, bila harapan itu dialami bukan secara individual dan eksistensial tapi secara sosial. Secarasosial, sulitlah orang meromantisasikan harapan. Dalam konteksnya yang sosial, harapan berarti perjuangan, perlawanan dan pergulatan melawan penindasan dan kesewenang-wenangan. Di sinilah harapan menjadi perjuangan melawan kekuasaan, yang biasanya cenderung menindas dan sewenang-wenang.”

“In order to move our culture forward, revolutionaries have had to speak and plan from the unseen order inside them. For those of us who were not consulted in the building of the visible order, igniting our imagination is the only wya to see beyond what was created [before us]. If those who were not part of the building of reality only consult reality for possibiliies, reality will never change. [...] Each of us was born to bring forth something that has never existed: a way of being, a family, an idea, art, a community - something brand-new. We are here to fully introduce outselves, to impose ouselves and ideas and thoughts and dreams onto the world, leaving it changed forever by who we are and what we bring forth from our depths, So we cannot contort ourselves to fit into the visible order. We must unleash ourselves and watch the world reorder itself in front of our eyes.”
