“Love is meant to inspire you, and add positive energy to your soul. It is not meant to make you feel drained and powerless.”

What a loss they suffered, the day they left you.

Don’t punish yourself by staying with people who hurt you. When they start destroying your peace instead of protecting it, it’s time to let go of them.

No single person should be able to shake down your faith in yourself.

The love you put out into the world, makes a difference.

You will heal, one day. You will no longer fall apart at the idea of moving on with your life without them.

Your words and actions hold great power. Make sure you don’t use them to cause someone pain.

Even if the people who made you happy, leave, don’t let that stop you from creating your own sunshine.

Someone who loves you won’t walk away from you so easily. Someone who loves you will hurt over even the idea of being apart from you.

True love will stay, and it will fight for you.

Spend time with people who get excited over even the smallest victories you earn.

You won’t attract the right people for you unless you, first, feel completely at peace with yourself.

Make kindness your priority. Practice it every day,

On some days, getting up to face the day itself is a big win for your heart.

Love exists in the small moments of understanding when a person gets you without you needing to explain yourself to them.

Never burden yourself with the blame that is not yours to carry.

The effort isn’t exhausting when it’s made for the right people.

I don’t discuss women at all with anyone. There are good qualities in all women. Some may be lacking in some of these qualities and should have them. I’m liable to say so and hurt their feelings, and it wouldn’t be meant that way at all.

I belong to the givers. I want to give a little happiness even if I haven’t had much for myself. Music has enriched my life and, hopefully – through me, a little – the public’s. If anyone left an opera house feeling more happy and at peace, I achieved my purpose.

You feel like home, and everywhere I’ve never been all at once.

Don’t use your brain to play it, let your feelings guide your fingers.

Natural bodies are divided into three kingdomes of nature: viz. the mineral, vegetable, and animal kingdoms. Minerals grow, Plants grow and live, Animals grow, live, and have feeling.

Being in the studio is my absolute favorite thing.

I feel blurry as a reflection in water.

When you focus on directing your energy away from harm and toward healing, you feed the soul and starve the ego.
