Rupi Kaur Quotes

    “he placed his hands

    on my mind

    before reaching

    for my waist

    my hips

    or my lips

    he didn’t call me

    beautiful first

    he called me

    exquisite”

    Rupi Kaur, Milk and Honey (Page 54)

      “the thing about having

      an alcoholic parent

      is an alcoholic parent

      does not exist

      simply

      an alcoholic

      who could not stay sober

      long enough to raise their kids”

      Rupi Kaur, Milk and Honey (Page 39)

        “you tell me to quiet down cause

        my opinions make me less beautiful

        but i was not made with a fire in my belly

        so i could be put out

        i was not made with a lightness on my tongue

        so i could be easy to swallow

        i was made heavy

        half blade and half silk

        difficult to forget and not easy

        for the mind to follow”

        Rupi Kaur, Milk and Honey (Page 30)

          “there is no bigger illusion in the world

          than the idea that a woman will

          bring dishonor into a home

          if she tries to keep her heart

          and her body safe”

          Rupi Kaur, Milk and Honey (Page 24)
