“i am not a hotel room. i am home
i am not the whiskey you want
i am the water you need
don't come here with expectations
and try to make a vacation out of me”
― Rupi Kaur, Milk and honey

“i want to apologize to all the women i have called beautiful
before i’ve called them intelligent or brave
i am sorry i made it sound as though
something as simple as what you’re born with
is all you have to be proud of
when you have broken mountains with your wit
from now on i will say things like
you are resilient, or you are extraordinary
not because i don’t think you’re beautiful
but because i need you to know
you are more than that”
― Rupi Kaur

“Where we are would be Paradise to me, if you would only make it so.”
― Thomas Hardy

“It was the touch of the imperfect upon the would-be perfect that gave the sweetness, because it was that which gave the humanity”
― Thomas Hardy, Tess of the D’Urbervilles
