Quote by Emtithal Mahmoud

“We do this everyday—make a good thing out of nothing, be the strong ones, be okay even when we're not. But today, we're more than okay, we are women. So, take my strength, I've got plenty. Take my hands, I've got two. Take my voice, let it guide you and if it shakes, ask yourself: when the earth shakes, do you think that she's afraid?”

“Do not be hardened by the pain and cruelty of this world. Be strong enough to be gentle, to be soft and supple like running water, gracefully bending around sudden turns, lithely waving in strong winds, freely flowing over sharp rocks, all the while quietly sculpting this hard world into ever deeper beauty, gently eroding rigid rock into silken sand, tenderly transforming human cruelty into humankindness. Remember, true strength is not found in the stone, but in the water that shapes the stone.”
