"I don’t feel that it is necessary to know exactly what I am. The main interest in life and work is to become someone else that you were not in the beginning"

“Mehr-un-Nisa, our PLBW16 Collection, is an ode to the grandeur of some of the most beautiful begums and maharanis to have emerged from the sub-continent.

This was one of the most significant eras of the region, marking the end of colonialism and bringing about a mass cultural, social and political revolution. 

Fallen in these cracks are profound forgotten tales of resolute women of the era, one of them being Mehr-un-Nisa. Our collection encapsulates the love and the despair of her life, the grandeur of her past and the realities of her present.” - Zara Shahjahan

She doesn’t want a calibrated, mild kind of surprise. She wants to rush headlong towards her destiny and surprise it before it can surprise her

Any man who reaches for a book when he thinks about you is a man that you should think about.

[wordsnquotes]

It isn’t the big troubles in life that require character. Anybody can rise to a crisis and face a crushing tragedy with courage, but to meet the petty hazards of the day with a laugh - I really think that requires spirit. It’s the kind of character that I am going to develop. I am going to pretend that all life is just a game which I must play as skillfully and fairly as I can. If I lose, I am going to shrug my shoulders and laugh - also if I win.

Jean Webster, Daddy Long Legs (via wordsnquotes)

My new golden rule in life: never trust a person one on one. People actually truly reveal themselves in group situations...

Let’s start calling “third world” and “developing countries” Previously Colonized Countries, because this way, we’re not ignoring the fact that these countries aren’t just slow in their development, or just happen to be poor, or low on resources. Let’s acknowledge the fact that white Europeans and Americans are the reason our nations are decades behind them. Because for every decade they are ahead of us, there was a decade where our labor power, our resources, our land, contributed to THEIR development.

At first, I thought you and the others were gods. Then I realized you’re just men. And I know men. You think I’m scared of death? I’ve done it a million times. I’m fucking great at it. How many times have you died? Because if you don’t help me… I’ll kill you.

I’ve always treasured empathy as the particular privilege of the invisible, the observers who are shy precisely because they sense so much—because it is overwhelming to say even a single word when you’re sensitive to every last flicker of nuance in the room.
