It is unbearably painful for the soul to love silently.

My shadow serves as the friend I crave

You will hear thunder and remember me, and think: she wanted storms.

Italy is a dream that keeps returning for the rest of your life.

All has been looted, betrayed, sold; black death's wing flashed ahead.

Sunset in the ethereal waves: I cannot tell if the day is ending, or the world, or if the secret of secrets is inside me again.

You will hear thunder and remember me, And think: she wanted storms. The rim Of the sky will be the colour of hard crimson, And your heart, as it was then, will be on fire.

Forgive me, that I manage badly, Manage badly but live gloriously, That I leave traces of myself in my songs, That I appeared to you in waking dreams.

Call me a sinner, Mock me maliciously: I was your insomnia, I was your grief.

Real tenderness can't be confused, It's quiet and can't be heard.

We learned not to meet anymore, We don't raise our eyes to one another, But we ourselves won't guarantee What could happen to us in an hour.

When life's adversities overwhelm you, look beyond your circumstances with an absolute trust that God is in control.

Every day we encounter situations where we have to make a stand. Looking back, I could have not hand-picked a better song to be my first single.

Art must not be intelligent; art is a jouisance, an enjoyment

I'm not trying to keep anybody happy.

Consider that as a principle of love is the main principle in the heart of a real Christian, so the labor of love, is the main business of the Christian life.

Glory is sacrifice, glory is exhaustion, glory is having nothing left to give.

That's what you do when the curtain is falling--you give the line that the audience wants to hear.

There are rules you follow here not because you want to, but because you have to.

A racist is a man who believes in history, genetics, and his eyes!
