"But where was it when I first heard that sweet sound of humility? It came to my ears in the goddamn loveliest melody! How grateful I was, then, to be part of the mystery, To love, and to be loved! Let’s just hope that is enough."
"It was a small mistake Sometimes that is all it takes."
"Id rather be working for a paycheck, than waiting to win the lottery. Besides, maybe this time its different, I mean, I really think you like me."
"And me Im in the bathroom crying out my eyelids because its hard to be a man when youre scared, just like a little kid."
"If you wanna see the future, Go stare into a cloud."
"Well is it your fear of being buried that makes you so afraid to speak?"
"I think it is more like a ghost that has been following us both. Something vague that were not seeing, something more like a feeling."
"So you can try and live in darkness but you will never shake the light. It will greet you every morning and make you more aware with its absence at night"
"The hook is in deep boys, there is no more time. So you can struggle in the water and be too stubborn to die, or you could just let go and be lifted to the sky."
"If the world could remain within a frame Like a painting on a wall, Then I think we would see the beauty, then We would stand staring in awe At our still lives posed Like a bowl of oranges, Like a story told By the fault lines and the soil."
"Ambition, I’ve found, can lead only to failure. I do not read the reviews. No, I am not singing for you."
"The sun is eclipsed as silence swoons"
