Don't waste your time with fear.. Fear won't keep you safe from being hurt.Collection: Hurt
And no matter what anybody says about grief and about time healing all wounds, the truth is, there are certain sorrows that never fade away until the heart stops beating and the last breath is taken.Collection: Taken
Did you really want to die?" "No one commits suicide because they want to die." "Then why do they do it?" "Because they want to stop the pain.Collection: Suicide
Anything less than mad, passionate, extraordinary love is a waste of time. There are too many mediocre things in life to deal with and love shouldn't be one of them.Collection: Love
There are things we never tell anyone. We want to but we can't. So we write them down. Or we paint them. Or we sing about them. It's our only option. To remember. To attempt to discover the truth. Sometimes we do it to stay alive. These things, they live inside of us. They are the secrets we stash in our pockets and the weapons we carry like guns across our backs. And in the end we have to decide for ourselves when these things are worth fighting for, and when it's time to throw in the towel.Collection: Life
It sounds silly, I know. But for me, the power of music rests in its ability to reach inside and touch the places where the deepest cuts lie. Like a benevolent god, a good song will never let you down. And sometimes, when you're trying to find your way, one of those gods actually shows up and gives you directions.Collection: Song
No one commits suicide because they want to die.Collection: Suicide
I try to find meaning anywhere I can. It's the only way I know how to validate my existence.Collection: Trying

Lying next to Eliza, I had the feeling I had I'd just found something I didn't even know I'd lost.Collection: Lying
We’re all searching for something to fill up what I like to call that big, God-shaped hole in our souls. Some people use alcohol, or sex, or their children, or food, or money, or music, or heroin. A lot of people even use the concept of God itself. I could go on and on. I used to know a girl who used shoes. She had over two-hundred pairs. But it’s all the same thing, really. People, for some stupid reason, think they can escape their sorrows.Collection: Girl
The question is one of faith. Faith in my talent. Faith in my decisions. And faith in the idea that the truth, even if it can’t pay my bills, can still set me free.Collection: Ideas
When dreams come true in reality they never feel the same as when you imagine them, and you know what that means? It means that no matter how good things are, maybe they’ll never be good enough, and there’s something seriously wrong with that.Collection: Dream
I was looking for someplace to store all the things I was feeling - the friction, the contradictions, the unmerciful truth - but my heart, my soul, my eyes and ears and even my toes were locking their doors. They wouldn't let me in. For safety reasons. I had no choice but to throw the feelings away.Collection: Heart
Sometimes I would open my eyes when we were kissing, I would watch him and I could see it. I could actually see LOVE - not words, not an emotion, not an abstract concept or a subjective state of mind, but a living, breathing thing.Collection: Eye
I would have remembered the good stuff. Nobody ever remembers the good stuff.Collection: Stuff
Personally, I don’t like inherently happy people. I don’t trust them. I think there’s something seriously wrong with anyone who isn’t at least a little let down by the world.Collection: Thinking
This is what it means to be in the middle of love, I thought. Being in the middle of love is like being in the middle of a war zone.Collection: War
We grew apart. The thing is, we loved each other, and on some level we always will, but when you’re twenty-three and you fall in love, you tend to think that love will supercede any problems. Realizing that no matter how much you love somebody, no matter how desperately you want a relationship to work, life can act as an oxidizer and corrode it to pieces.Collection: Falling In Love
As usual, no one's ever around when you need them.Collection: Usual
I like to say I don’t believe in mystics . I don’t believe in fate. I don’t believe in destiny or kismet. I don’t believe in God. I don’t believe in anything. But I believe in the possibility of everything.Collection: Believe
... there’s also nothing noble about being fearless. How much do you wanna bet the last man standing in a battle is usually the biggest fool of all?” - Paul HudsonCollection: Men
The days will always be brighter because he existed. The nights will always be darker because he's gone.Collection: Women
Bottom line, Eliza— you’re my home and my family, and I don’t want to lose you. I could lose everything else, and as long as I still had you and a guitar I know I’d be all right. Do you get what I’m saying?Collection: Home
I am of the theory that all of our transcendental connections, anything we're drawn to, be it a person, a song, a painting on a wall--they're magnetic. The art is the alloy, so to speak. And our souls are equipped with whatever properties are required to attract that alloy. I'm no scientist so I don't really know what the hell these properties are, but my point is we're drawn to stuff we've already got a connection to. Part of the thing is already inside of us.Collection: Song
Fate is the magnetic pull of our souls toward the people, places, and things we belong with.Collection: Fate
Thoughts are king, Trixie, king!Collection: Kings
Everyone feels that void. Everyone who has the balls to look inside themselves, anyway. It's what life's all about.. A search.Collection: Balls
I just happen to comprehend the low standards of the majority of the music-buying public, and I don’t care how condescending that sounds, it’s true. They always go for the shiny gimmicks. Always.Collection: Majority
I'm not messy. I'm rebelling against folding.Collection: Folding
For me, the release was a spot in time with no past and no future. Just the extraordinary simplicity of a moment— the kind of moment that has a funny way of making a person believe that life and love can last forever.Collection: Life And Love
Fate is just another word for people's choices coming to a head. Destiny, coincidence, whatever you name it. It inevitably lies in our hands.Collection: Lying
There’s nothing worse than falling in love with a person over and over every time you lay eyes on them, especially when you hate their goddamn gutsCollection: Falling In Love
I've got my girl and my guitar, and for me that's enough.Collection: Girl
There's a big difference between being alone and being lonely. And I'm guessing that once you've discovered this distinction you can't go back to solitary confinement without serious emotional repercussions.Collection: Lonely
That's the only way I could describe the music. It was the sonic equivalent of flightCollection: Way
If you want me you're going to have to come and get me.Collection: Want
Inside every believe, there's a lie.Collection: Lying
And when Paul dove to embrace me, the look on his face was one of absolute, perfect joy—the kind of joy that can't be reproached, stolen, or marred—the kind that only the innocent or the ignorant are capable of experiencing.Collection: Perfect
Nobody, and I mean nobody, ever started a revolution playing by the rulesCollection: Mean
I'm afraid of everything. Fear of being alone, fear of being hurt, fear of being made a fool of, fear of failure... Still, I think all my fears bleed from one big one.Collection: Hurt
In his eyes I saw all the other possibilities. The dream-world possibilities. The fairytale possibilities. The seemingly impossible possibilities.Collection: Dream
I'm tempted to tell you that you think too much, but I'm not really one to talk,' Jacob said. 'Henry Miller wrote something about fear making you fearless. It's a very powerful emotion. Use it to get what you want. I mean if it's going to rule our life, it might as well rule you to freedom, right?Collection: Powerful
I know that if I ever have the audacity to blame fate or God for holding a gun to my temple, I also have the wherewithal to remind myself that if I end up with a hole in my head, I was the one who pulled the trigger.Collection: Fate
Dreams can change histories and songs can alter destinies- two ideas that on good days I believe wholeheartedly and on bad days I denounce as a bunch of bull.Collection: Dream
We hovered above the moment like two rain cloudsCollection: Rain
Isn’t it funny to think that this magnificent piece of matter is in a state of decay? Really, can you think of any other living thing that looks this glorious as it’s dying?Collection: Thinking
You can’t judge a man solely on his actions. Sometimes actions are nothing more than re actions.Collection: Men
And if my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle.Collection: Uncles
