Celebrating the extraordinary life of Alice Heap
There are those who struggle for a day and they are good.
There are those who struggle for a year and they are better.
There are those who struggle many years, and they are better still.
But there are those who struggle all their lives: These are the
indispensable ones.
-Bertolt Brecht
