After the Ramones, it was more about new wave for me than punk.

You don't love me. If you really knew me, you wouldn't love me. You love who you think I am. And don't pretend that you know me. Because I don't even know myself.

I know I was born and I know that I'll die... The in between is mine. I Am Mine

It's saying, just stop, and be together. Don't talk now, just breathe and feel each other's presence.

Music's at its best when it has a purpose.

I knew all the rules but the rules did not know me.

The smallest oceans still make big big waves.

Music saved me; I mean, my upbringing was like a hurricane, and music was the tree I held onto.

It's a mystery to me; We have a greed, with which we have agreed. You think you have to want more than you need. Until you have it all, you won't be free.

The love received is the love that is saved.

I've got my indignation but I'm pure in all my thoughts.

I plan to live my own way. Hopefully, it is as per God's Way.

They weren't tears of sadness or even tears of joy. I was just overflowing. Like so many things since I'd been here, I didn't yet understand it, but I felt it.

I saw as a teacher how, if you take that spark of learning that those children have, and you ignite it, you can take a child from any background to a lifetime of creativity and accomplishment.

There, where I have passed, the grass will never grow gain.

You're not in love if you keep your own heart bricked up behind your bones. You're only playing.

Energy is significantly underpriced in many parts of the world, leading to wasteful consumption, price volatility and fuel smuggling. It's also undermining the competitiveness of renewables.

When we pray, we open the door for God to come into our problems and situations and work on them.

The percept takes priority of the concept.

Work hard in school and listen to your parents. They really do want the very best for you and have been where you're going.

Never do anything in life if you would be ashamed of seeing it printed on the front page of your hometown newspaper for your friends and family to see.
