“Love me like you’ll never see me again.”

I believe in the limitlessness of humans. We’re capable of incredible things. At times, that realization is frightening.

The more you know the stronger you become, the closer you feel to yourself and the farther you can go.

Fear is not a part of my vocabulary, actually, and I think that it’s really made me a much smarter, braver for sure, person.

I grew up in a pretty tough neighborhood. I grew up around drugs, alcohol, prostitution, I grew up around everything, and I think part of seeing that from really young has made me really steer very far away from it in all of its forms.

Moments are so fleeting; I want to hold on to the good ones.

If we took the time to learn more about different places and people, perhaps we would have more empathy for each other.

We have the potential to help people out of poverty, out of disease, out of slavery and out of conflict. Too often we turn the other way because we think there’s nothing we can do.

Maturity and experience are part of my liberation.

Through the shake of an earthquake I will never fall. That’s how strong my love is.

The smaller you strip things down, the more you depend on the songs and yourself, as opposed to arrangements.

I really like to live my life in a low-key fashion.

I feel the presence of a higher power. I believe that what you give is what you get. It’s universal law. I believe in the power of prayer and of words. I’ve learned that when you predict that negative things will happen, they do.

There was no other path for me. I knew this was my path. I had to follow it.

I’d rather believe in my own choice and see it all go wrong than do something I’m not fully convinced of and later feel guilty about it.

I’m a very caring person.

I feel more like I’m a person who has so much to offer in different capacities that it would be a danger for me not to give myself a chance to spread my wings in all different directions.

Learning to love unselfishly is not an easy task. It runs counter to our self-centered nature.

We care so little of other people than even Christianity urges us to do good for the love of God.

Light is much more than the absence of darkness. And you, my love, are much more than the absence of him.

Consider it: every person you have ever met, every person will suffer the loss of his friends and family. All are going to lose everything they love in this world. Why would one want to be anything but kind to them in the meantime?

If you do not love Christ, let me tell you plainly what is the reason. You have no sense of debt to him.

The spiritual journey is the unlearning of fear and the acceptance of love.

God does not love us because we are valuable. We are valuable because God loves us.

Sex is the consolation you have when you can’t have love.
