Quote by Lady Gaga

Unless I am both capable of and willing to reopen the wound every time I write a song, if I choose to not look inside myself to write music, I'm really not worth being called an artist at all.

Unless I am both capable of and willing to reopen the wound

Summary

This quote highlights the essence of being a true artist. It suggests that a songwriter must possess the ability and willingness to delve into their own emotional wounds in order to create meaningful music. Without this introspection and vulnerability, the artist fails to connect authentically with their audience and lacks the artistic depth that defines them. It emphasizes the importance of self-reflection and personal exploration as fundamental elements of artistic expression.

I learned regret in the ruins of Tarbfhlaith. I regretted that ambition had ruled my heart instead of affection for my kin. And with the lesson of regret came the gratitude for having life still to move my lips and limbs, and to speak kind words to and embrace those I may not see again on this sweet-smelling earth. I learned that I cannot wait to love what is in my presence, for it or I may well be gone tomorrow. To some, such as Giannon, this lesson poisons the heart with bitterness. But such bitterness has no value and is, in fact, cowardly. For bitterness risks nothing.
