“we are all born
so beautiful
the greatest tragedy is
being convinced we are not”
― Rupi Kaur, Milk and honey

“You're the one who has to live with your choice,' she says. 'Everyone else will get over it, move on, no matter what you decide. But you never will.”
― Veronica Roth, Four: A Divergent Story Collection

“what is stronger
than the human heart
which shatters over and over
and still lives”
― Rupi Kaur, The Sun and Her Flowers

“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, Milk and honey
