Pens carry further than rifled cannon.
Music is the true breath of life. We eat so we won't starve to death. We sing so we can hear ourselves live.
The man who let the love of his life pass him by will end up alone with his regrets and all the sighs in the world won't soothe his soul.
Though there are things beyond our understanding, for the most part we are the architects of our own unhappiness.
Basically, being alive means keeping yourself ready for the sky to fall in on you at any time. If you start from the assumption that existence is only an ordeal, a test we have to pass, then you’re equipped to deal with its sorrows and its surprises. If you persist in expecting it to give you something it can’t give, that just proves that you haven’t understood anything. Take things as they come; don’t turn them into a drama. You’re not piloting the ship, you’re following the course of your destiny.
If you want your life to be a small part of eternity, to be lucid even in the heart of madness, love. . . Love with all your strength, love as though it is all you know how to do, love enough to make the gods themselves jealous. . . for it is in love that all ugliness reveals its beauty.
You're all the world to me. Whenever i can't see you. . . I die a little.
Melodies are important. I always kind of pride myself on my melodies.
God, he deals you blows that at sometimes you think you can't handle and in the last year there have been things that we thought we couldn't handle but we've dealt with it up until this point.
I don't know what can be so dangerous about giving people hope. Causing people to have better relationships. I'm not leading them to some false God or something like that.
For nothing burns with such amazing speed, As the dry sticks of a religious creed.
