“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

“Our ego is the lion of lions, and if this is conquered, then these external lions – the different egos around us – are conquered also, and wherever we go, with anyone, whether foolish or wise, good or bad, we now have peace.”
