A Woman Is No Man by Etaf Rum

5.0

“Too often being happy means being passive or playing it safe. There’s no skill required in happiness, no strength of character, nothing extraordinary. It’s discontent that drives creation the most—passion, desire, defiance. Revolutions don’t come from a place of happiness; if anything I think it’s sadness, or discontent at least, that’s at the root of everything beautiful.”
