"Activism is very seductive, and writing is painful and hard. It's very scary to have a death threat living over your head. Activism is very sustaining. But I don't view myself as a political person. I'm just someone who desperately wants to stay alive."

(Larry Kramer, all'anagrafe Laurence David Kramer, drmmaturgo, saggista, attivista fondatore di ACT UP; Bridgeport, 25 giugno 1935 – New York, 27 maggio 2020)
