Love is a piano dropped from a four story window and you were in the wrong place at the wrong time. -Two Little Girls (Little Plastic Castle)

I know there is strength in the differences between us. I know there is comfort where we overlap.

God forbid you be an ugly girl, 'course too pretty is also your doom, 'cause everyone harbors a secret hatred for the prettiest girl in the room.

They can call me crazy if I fail, all the chance that I need, is one-in-a-million and they can call me brilliant if I succeed.

One of my rules is: Never TRY to do anything. Just do it.

Every time I say something they find hard to hear, they chalk it up to my anger, and never to their own fear.

Some people wear their heart up on their sleeve. I wear mine underneath my right pant leg, strapped to my boot.

We are wise women, we are giggling girls. We both carry a smile to show when we're pleased, we both carry a switchblade in our sleeves.

We are taught to view pain as an enemy, not a teacher. But pain is the right hand of growth and transformation. Pain is in the history of all human wisdom.

I wonder what you look like under your t-shirt. I wonder what you sound like when you're not wearing words. I wonder what we have when we're not pretending.

To fall in love and to commit yourself to love means you should make your loved one the one thing you cherish the most.

Underwater, I experience space with my body. I'll see a school of fish gathering and moving together and I'll exclaim, 'This is architecture.'

We just have to hope and pray that this man [Donald Trump] is changed in terms of how he views the world community.

Don't gain the world and lose your soul; wisdom is better than silver or gold.

Better a sparrow, living or dead, than no birdsong at all.

Because it is there [famous explanation for wanting to climb Mount Everest].

Love is rebellious bird that nobody can tame, and it's all in vain to call it if it chooses to refuse.

I was 14 or 15 when I discovered poetry, and I pretty much stopped writing prose until Master of Reality.

It's always the script that's going to lure me. And I don't really care about the part.

Find your confidence, lead with love... the rest will follow.
