Naomi Shihab Nye Quotes

Remembering Your Mistakes More Acutely Than Any Minor Success. This Was The Worst. The Things That Kept You Up At Night. Tip A Waiter That Was Too Small. The Words That Didn't Fit The Moment. Words That Didn't Come Till To Late. You Could Kill Yourself In Increments, Punishing Your Spirit Day After Day-regret. Guilt. Not The Guilt Of The Little Girl Who Woke In The Night Embarrassed God Was Mad At Her Because She Had Ticked Balls Under Her Shirt, Pretending To Have Breasts. "I Even Felt Sexy." That Was Sweet, And Pure, No Crime At All. But The Crime Of Obsessive Replay-get Rid Of It, Get Rid Of It. Who Could Ever Have Known That Hardest Punishments Would Be The Ones You Gave Yourself?
