“Why give up before we try?”

Love is giving of yourself in a way that is free of fear.

Living will always be a struggle looking for someone to love you.

Falling down ain’t falling down, If you don’t cry when you hit the floor, It’s called the past cause I’m getting past, And I ain’t nothing like I was before, You ought to see me now.

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.

Every day you learn something new in order to understand life and find your place under the sun.

Be always the work in progress. The day you finish learning is the day you are finished.

A good life is a hard life.

How will we learn to fly if we never allow ourselves to fall?

Anyone who has any kind of capacity to truly let go and give into yourself with any kind of desire to hold on for dear life.

It is not uncommon for people to spend their whole life waiting to start living.

She drank up the moonlight to make her soul shine.

Admist the darkness, she tried to hold on to her yellow laughter.
