I have heard so many people talk about how they just love “Milk and Honey” and how I just had to read it. So eventually I fell into the trend and bought the book here recently and I must say I am very pleased with it. I am the kind of person who tends to obsess over quotes. So here are some of my favorites….

1. “We began with honesty let us end in it too.”

2. “I don’t want to have you to fill the empty parts of me

I want to be full on my own

I want to fill so complete

I could light a whole city

and then

I want to have you

cause the two of

us combined

could set

it on fire”

3. “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”

4. “Stay strong through your pain

grow flowers from it

you have helped me

grow flowers out of mine so

bloom beautifully

dangerously

loudly

bloom softly

however you need

just bloom”
