Warsan Shire Quotes

It’s not my responsibility to be beautiful. I’m not alive for that purpose. My existence is not about how desirable you find me Picture Quote #1

I have my mother’s mouth and my father’s eyes; on my face they are still together Picture Quote #1

Don’t assume, ask. Be kind. Tell the truth. Don’t say anything you can’t stand behind fully. Have integrity. Tell people how you feel Picture Quote #1

Sad people have the gift of time, while the world dizzies everyone else; they remain stagnant, their bodies refusing to follow pace with the universe. With these kind of people everything aches for too long, everything moves without rush, wounds are always wet Picture Quote #1

I know a few things to be true. I do not know where I am going, where I have come from is disappearing, I am unwelcome and my beauty is not beauty here. My body is burning with the shame of not belonging, my body is longing Picture Quote #1

How far have you walked for men who’ve never held your feet in their laps? Picture Quote #1

I tore up and ate my own passport in an airport hotel once. I’m bloated with language I can’t afford to forget Picture Quote #1

Perhaps, the problem is not the intensity of your love, but the quality of the people you are loving Picture Quote #1

Why do you live in your body like you will be given another? As if it were temporary. You starve it, you let anyone touch it, you berate it. Tell it that it should be completely different. You tug at your soft flesh, wish it thinner, wish it gone. You fall in love with those who praise the way it sighs under their hands, but who praises the way it holds up your weight, even when you are falling apart? Picture Quote #1

The sun is perfect and you woke this morning. You have enough language in your mouth to be understood. You have a name, and someone wants to call it. Five fingers on your hand and someone wants to hold it. If we just start there, every beautiful thing that has and will ever exist is possible. If we start there, everything, for a moment, is right in the world Picture Quote #1

Mother says there are locked rooms inside all women, kitchen of love, bedroom of grief, bathroom of apathy. Sometimes, the men, they come with keys, and sometimes the men, they come with hammers Picture Quote #1

Make love like you have no secrets like you’ve never been left never been hurt like the world don’t owe you a single wretched thing Picture Quote #1

Every mouth you’ve ever kissed was just practice. All the bodies you’ve ever undressed and ploughed in to were preparing you for me. I don’t mind tasting them in the memory of your mouth. Was it a long journey? Did it take you long to find me? You’re here now, welcome home Picture Quote #1
