Hurtfulness Quotes

“Her absence chills my bones
numbs my nerves
bares my soul
In every cell of mine she lives
And I only breathe to shelter her memories she left with me”
― Kshanasurya

“But somehow,
I’ve stopped praising you. How the valley
when you first see it—the small roads back
to your youth—is so painfully pretty at first,
then, after a month of black coffee, it’s just
another place your bullish brain exists, bothered
by itself and how hurtful human life can be.
Isn’t that how it is? You wake up some days
full of crow and shine, and then someone
has put engine coolant in the medicine
on another continent and not even crying
helps cure the idea of purposeful poison.”
― Ada Limon, Bright Dead Things

“Dear God, let me embrace the goodness in life, and allow me to place any hurtfulness in your hands. Let me be aware when you point at me, so I walk the right path. In Jesus name, amen.”
― Ron Baratono
