I feel like everybody knows the world isn't the happiest, most peaceful place. And though everybody has an idea of what's wrong, we're not changing it for the better.

Believe in all the good things you keep inside There is no freedom in life without freedom of mind.

I don't listen to my own stuff unless I've been drinking a lot.

I have an aversion to conformity.

Trying to be creative, yet having to deal with the day to day - I mean, there is a lot of stuff to deal with. Like sitting at the computer and sending emails.

There are bands now, and for years, that called themselves emo. I never followed that stuff.

Even when I am forced to conform - we all are on many levels - that line is definitive. It says exactly what it means: Be an individual, you know? Be yourself.

Almost everything I do, especially later on, is really very scripted. And I do it over and over again until it's perfect.

I don't have a label, I don't have a manager, I'm doing everything myself.

Obstacles accelerate transformation

The seeds of any outcome are within thought.

When we feel weak, we drop our heads on the shoulders of others. Don't get mad when someone does that. Be honored. For that person trusted you enough to, even if subtly, ask you for help.

A fool flatters himself, a wise man flatters the fool.

Fear is a thief. It robbed Peter of a perfectly good walk on water, & kept the other eleven in the boat.

Unceasing prayer is the unbroken union of the soul with God, so that life from God flows into our life; and from our life, purity and holiness flow back to God.

May your life be crowded with unexpected joys.

That's an area of particular satisfaction, where we made a difference?

Are we human because we gaze at the stars or do we gaze at the stars because we are human?

All outward success, when it has value, is but the inevitable result of an inward success of full living, full play and enjoyment of one's faculties.
