Love is timeless. Death does not separate the lover from the beloved.

A traveller I am, and a navigator, and everyday I discover a new region within my soul.

In one drop of water are found all the secrets of all the oceans; in one aspect of You are found all the aspects of existence.

Wisdom is not in words; Wisdom is meaning within words.

Much of your pain is self-chosen.

You are far, far greater than you know – and all is well.

Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.

Sit by me, my beloved, and listen to my heart; smile, for your happiness is a symbol of our future.

A man’s true wealth is the good he does in the world.

Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.

If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. And if they don’t, they never were.

Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.

The best of man is he who blushes when you praise him and remains silent when you defame him.

Preventive war was an invention of Hitler. I would not even listen to anyone seriously that came and talked about such a thing.

The spiritual journey is individual, highly personal. It can’t be organized or regulated. It isn’t true that everybody should follow any one path. Listen to your own truth.

If you’re 30, 40 years old, you’re not getting listened to by minors. Like, Jay Z has some of the sickest lyrics ever, but I would never buy his CD, just because of my age and because of his age.

I’m just inspired by life and, growing up, I listened to all types of different sounds, genres, and areas of music.

Trees are the earth’s endless effort to speak to the listening heaven.

I feel like boys listen to my music. They just don’t like to admit it, but I go hard. But yeah, I feel like I go really hard, so why not listen to me? Anybody could relate to my music, honestly.

I grew up listening to a lot of 2Pac and a lot of East Coast, West Coast rap; Bad Boy, Lil Kim, Foxy Brown, Biggie, 2Pac. Super hip-hop, super listening to that raw era of music.

Listening to Alabama Shakes made me less self-conscious about my voice.
