“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

“It wasn't that she didn't believe in love; but she no longer believed in it for herself.”
― Daphne Kalotay, Russian Winter

“To love someone enough to let them go, you had to let them go forever or you did not love them that much.”
― Diana Wynne Jones, Fire and Hemlock

“That's how you know you really trust someone, I think; when you don't have to talk all the time to make sure they still like you or prove that you have interesting stuff to say.”
― Sara Zarr, Story of a Girl
