Most of the time a spark of beauty or truth will start a fire of a song but fires rarely produce goodness on their own ... you need to control them and put them to work.

I think sunrises are rarer for me, but sunset is my favourite time of day.

Happiness is like peeing in your pants. Everyone can see it, but only you can feel the warmth.

Your story matters, who you are matters, tonight matters, none of it is an accident. You were born for the blue skies.
