“Pray with me in the temple of pride.”

Papa Don’t Preach

Power without guilt, love without doubt.

We learn our lessons; we get hurt; we want revenge. Then we realize that actually, happiness and forgiving people is the best revenge.

I’m anal-retentive. I’m a workaholic. I have insomnia. And I’m a control freak. That’s why I’m not married. Who could stand me?

Confidence is everything.

Sick and perverted always appeals to me.

We all fall to the floor at some point. It’s how you pick yourself up that’s the real challenge. Isn’t it?

When I’m hungry, I eat. When I’m thirsty, I drink. When I feel like saying something, I say it.

Who dares, wins.

I don’t take myself completely seriously. I think that’s another quality that people have to hold on to, you have to laugh, especially at yourself.

If it’s bitter at the start, then it’s sweeter in the end.

Only when I’m dancing can I feel this free.

I still have hope in the goodness of humans.

Artists are here to disturb the peace.

Deep in my heart, I’m concealing things that I’m longing to say. Scared to confess what I’m feeling – frightened you’ll slip away.

Sometimes you have to be a bitch to get things done.

All my friends tell me I need to pull through. But I can’t for I am lost in the sea of you.

I get so lost in your midnight eyes I forget we’re running out of time.

Lost in the space between friend and lover. I am and none of these things.

Love is the vital essence that pervades and permeates, from the center to the circumference, the graduating circles of all thought and action. Love is the talisman of human weal and woe -the open sesame to every soul.

You can study God through everything and everyone in the universe, because God is not confined in a mosque, synagogue or church. But if you are still in need of knowing where exactly His abode is, there is only one place to look for Him: in the heart of a true lover.

He who loves not women, wine, and song Remains a fool his whole life long.

I’m in love with things that remind me my troubles are small.

Love. Fall in love and stay in love. Write only what you love, and love what you write. The key word is love. You have to get up in the morning and write something you love, something to live for.
