A lot of people, because of my contempt for the false consolations of religion, think of me as a symbolic public opponent of that in extremis. And sometimes that makes me feel a bit alarmed, to be the repository of other people's hope.

Writing takes a combination of sophistication and innocence; it takes conscience, our belief that something is beautiful because it is right.

Anne Lamott

For me, everything is cool.

Paz Vega

It's about time that society accepts people for who they are.

Kesha

The principle of majority rule is the mildest form in which the force of numbers can be exercised. It is a pacific substitute for civil war in which the opposing armies are counted and the victory is awarded to the larger before any blood is shed. Except in the sacred tests of democracy and in the incantations of the orators, we hardly take the trouble to pretend that the rule of the majority is not at bottom a rule of force.

Walter Lippmann

A handful of common sense is worth a bushel of learning.

Source Unknown

As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being.

Carl Gustav Jung

A deception that elevates us is dearer than a host of low truths.

Marina Ivanova Tsvetaeva

When one has the feeling of dislike for evil, when one feels tranquil, one finds pleasure in listening to good teachings; when one has these feelings and appreciates them, one is free of fear.

Buddha

Nature knows no pause in progress and development, and attaches her curse on all inaction.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Tis but a part we see, and not a whole.

Alexander Pope

For I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. St. Paul In Philippians 4:11

Bible

Of course, I would be depressed sometimes, and my Mom would be worried about me because I would just sleep to escape. Cause I was so scared of being a musician or artist, or whatever you want to call it.
