“I think a lot of people don’t wear their hearts on their sleeves. I think people should, but a lot of people don’t.”

A news conference is a device by which the establishment keeps large numbers of reporters from covering the news every place else.

There were a lot of people who were willing to write a letter for me. Not because I was academically inclined, but because I worked hard.

I want to be rich in all the foods I’ve tasted and all the places I’ve been and all the people I’ve kissed.

No offense to people who go on Tinder but I just feel like it’s ruining romance, I really do.

One-hundred percent, even now I doubt myself. I don’t understand what people hear in my voice. I can’t hear it myself, if you know what I mean.

To control and enslave the minds of men, all one must do is convince them that a secret exists, and that he is privy to information regarding that secret; hence the power of priests and psychics.

Thank you so much for breaking my heart because you got me four Grammys.

In the Lonely Hour is about a guy that I fell in love with last year, and he didn’t love me back. I think I’m over it now, but I was in a very dark place. I kept feeling lonely in the fact that I hadn’t felt love before.

I’ve actually tasted the beer; it’s quite nice. It’s called Samuel Smith, which is my actual name. It’s good beer. Maybe that’s my favorite.

I used to have a little whisky before I went on stage. I realized that could have slowly turned into something a bit more serious. I get hyped up. I also think doing it a lot, you get used to it. You get more confidence. It’s confidence building, really.

I’ve only been in unrequited relationships where people haven’t loved me back. I guess I’m a little bit attracted to that in a bad way.

Would to God, brethren, I could tell you WHO I am! Would to God I could tell you WHAT I know! But you would call it blasphemy and want to take my life!

Above all, we must understand that in leaving the toxic ways of the present we are healing ourselves, our places, and our planet. We rebel not as a last act of desperation but as a first act of creation.

Nature has no cure for this sort of madness, though I have known a legacy from a rich relative work wonders.

I didn’t become successful until I became myself.

All will be raised by the power of God, having spirit in their bodies, and not blood.

And every person you love breaks your heart is that why you call love so hard?

How many tears and how much pain. Before I stand up tall and rise again?

Once I was the sun. The sun that burnt so bright it lit up everyone’s sky. The sun ran out of fuel. The sun that died under its own weight. The sun that sucks on the light of others now. The sun is now a black hole, itself.

Don’t be afraid to love all your broken pieces. They will finally wether with the waters of ages, shrinking into friendly gemlike pebbles that are soft to your soul.

I have always wished someone to look right through all my struggles without me having to utter a word.

Leave me alone in the rain. Let me feel the pain.

I am an arrow – Put me in your bow and let fly. Let this story go by in the blink of an eye.

It sucks to lose everything your heart beats for.
