When someone says that I'm angry it's actually a compliment. I have not always been direct with my anger in my relationships, which is part of why I'd write about it in my songs because I had such fear around expressing anger as a woman.

God made man to go by motives, and he will not go without them, any more than a boat without steam or a balloon without gas.

Henry Ward Beecher

Lord, with what care hast Thou begirt us round! Parents first season us; then schoolmasters deliver us to laws; they send us bound to rules of reason, holy messengers, pulpits and Sundays, sorrow dogging sin, afflictions sorted, anguish of all sizes, fine nets and stratagems to catch us in, bibles laid open, millions of surprises, blessings beforehand, ties of gratefulness, the sound of glory ringing in our ears: without, our shame; within, our consciences; angels and grace, eternal hopes and fears. Yet all these fences and their whole array one cunning bosom-sin blows quite away.

George Herbert

Science has always been too dignified to invent a good backscratcher.

Don Marquis

The next point -- that's all you must think about.

Rod Laver

Husbands are chiefly good lovers when they are betraying their wives.

Marilyn Monroe

If I had not existed, someone else would have written me, Hemingway, Dostoevski, all of us.

William Faulkner

Laws gain their authority from actual possession and custom: it is perilous to go back to their origins; laws, like our rivers, get greater and nobler as they roll along: follow them back upstream to their sources and all you find is a tiny spring, hardly recognizable; as time goes by it swells with pride and grows in strength.

Michel de Montaigne

I've spent a lot of time and money trying to keep my anger in control.

Yancy Butler

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.

Thomas Jefferson

I remember when the candle shop burned down. Everyone stood around singing 'Happy Birthday.'

Steven Wright

The Scriptures contain many stories of people who waited years or even decades before the Lord's promises came to pass. What modern believers can learn from the patience of biblical saints like Abraham, Joseph, David, and Paul is that waiting upon the Lord has eternal rewards.
