Sean Penn in Haiti, looking out over the Pétionville aid camp, Port-au-Prince and the distant mountains and ocean:
“Look at that!” he said. “It’s beautiful, right? Right? That’s the thing! You get the air cleaned up in this city, and it’d be extraordinary. And the whole country’s like this — more so, even. That’s why I never have a doubt — nee-e-ver have a doubt — that this country can be successful. It’s too tangible, too containable to not do it. And the change is going to come of this earthquake.”
Activist/actor Sean Penn, in Haiti, quoted in a NYTimes article by Zoe Heller, chronicling Penn’s efforts in Haiti running the J/P Haitian Relief Organization. |
