“So build yourself as beautiful as you want your world to be. Wrap yourself in light then give yourself away with your heart, your brush, your march, your art, your poetry, your play. And for every day you paint the war, take a week and paint the beauty, the color, the shape of the landscape you’re marching towards. Everyone knows what you’re against; show them what you’re for.”
― Andrea Gibson

“Some broken vases can still hold beautiful flowers”
― Munia Khan

“Every morning
before the birds start
trilling me their stories,
I give birth to a new love
through my same old heart
when a lake’s placidity
finds life in the swans breath
Only for you...

From the poem 'Only For You”
― Munia Khan, To Evince the Blue

“The world would be a better place if even a fraction of us became the kinds of people we have deceived others into believing we are.”
― Mokokoma Mokhonoana
