“They lash me with insults,
serenade me with curses.
Their barking means nothing to me.
Even if they came with soul-flowers to offer,
I couldn’t care less.
Untouched, I move on.”
― I, Lalla: The Poems of Lal DÄ•d

“As humans, we waste the shit out of our words. It’s sad. We use words like “awesomeâ€� and “wonderfulâ€� like they’re candy. It was awesome? Really? It inspired awe? It was wonderful? Are you serious? It was full of wonder? You use the word “amazingâ€� to describe a goddamn sandwich at Wendy’s. What’s going to happen on your wedding day, or when your first child is born? How will you describe it? You already wasted “amazingâ€� on a fucking sandwich.”
