“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.”

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.

Give your energy to those who intend to nourish it and not exhaust it.

The hard work you put in will never fail you.

Even unconditional love will run out eventually if you don’t return the effort they make for you.

You don’t have to explain yourself to someone who has never taken time to get to know you.

True strength lies in being vulnerable about who you are.

When the relationship you’re in becomes unhealthy for you, don’t look the other way. Always accept the truth in your eyes, even when it’s not in your favor.

Time passes quickly when you’re talking to someone whose soul is similar to your own.

All the ills from which America suffers can be traced back to the teaching of evolution. It would be better to destroy every other book ever written, and save just the first three verses of Genesis.

Fear is the greatest obstacle to learning. But fear is your best friend. Fear is like fire. If you learn to control it, you let it work for you. If you don’t learn to control it, it’ll destroy you and everything around you.

I believe that time destroys everything. You can take one beautiful apple, red. After a while, it becomes shrivelled and full of worms, just like what happens to us

I think initially, the record industry struggled a lot with digital media because there are a lot of aspects to it that can potentially destroy our industry.

Destroy or be destroyed! I just love that way of life!

Guilt is cancer. Guilt will confine you, torture you, destroy you as an artist. It’s a black wall. It’s a thief.

My most important problem was destroying the lines of demarcation that separate what seems real from what seems fantastic.

The Nation that destroys its soil destroys itself.
