“Youth is quick in feeling but weak in judgement.”

To speak his thoughts is every freeman’s right, in peace and war, in council and in fight.

The force of union conquers all.

There is a time for many words, and there is also a time for sleep.

It is not possible to fight beyond your strength, even if you strive.

Fate is the same for the man who holds back, the same if he fights hard.

You ought not to practice childish ways, since you are no longer that age.

Scepticism is as much the result of knowledge, as knowledge is of scepticism.

In youth and beauty, wisdom is but rare!

The roaring seas and many a dark range of mountains lie between us.

We men are wretched things.

Words empty as the wind are best left unsaid.

Everything is more beautiful because we’re doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again.

Modesty is of no use to a beggar.

The journey is the thing.

The melancholy joys of evils pass’d, For he who much has suffer’d, much will know.

Hateful to me as the gates of Hades is that man who hides one thing in his heart and speaks another.

Something that you feel will find its own form.

I hear the rain fall and suddenly I don’t feel so alone because the sky is crying too.

Only when I was singing did I feel loved.

My experience of singing, as an actor, was that there’s a different creative feeling of freedom. The acting thing is a bit more defined and cerebral. I can see why people would want to cross over. If you have so much freedom on stage then perhaps you want to be confined a bit, and vice versa.

Just watch this moment, without trying to change it at all. What is happening? What do you feel? What do you see? What do you hear?

I want a love that as deep as it feels, it breathes just as free.

I felt it better to speak to God than about Him.

I’m the type who’d rather not work than work on something I’m not into. I’ve done that a couple of times, and I feel like I can totally see it in my performance.
