I hesitated for all the right reasons. And I accepted for all the wrong ones.

Poets are always taking the weather so personally. They're always sticking their emotions in things that have no emotions.

Your Wheezy, sir, your Wheezy — Wheezy who is giving Dobby his sweater!

If you get your education, then you've got your platform set up for you.

I hate negative songs; I won't sing them. It doesn't matter if it's sold 2 million more albums.
