“Softness is not weakness. It takes courage to stay delicate in a world this cruel.”
― Beau Taplin

“The Atharva Veda points out that the quest for awareness, the search for answers, the journey towards self-realization, never ceases: How does the wind not cease to blow?
How does the mind take no repose?
Why do the waters, seeking to reach the truth,
Never at any time cease to flow? —Atharva Veda, X.7.3731”
― Shashi Tharoor, Why I am a Hindu

“Sadly, too many of us stay together
far longer than we should

because it's easier to say, "I love you,"
than it is to say, "I don't.”
― Beau Taplin, Worlds of You: Poetry & Prose

“Everyone you meet has a part to play in your story. And while some may take a chapter, others a paragraph, and most will be no more than scribbled notes in the margins, someday, you'll meet someone who will become so integral to your life, you'll put their name in the title.”
― Beau Taplin
