We all lose somebody we care about and want to find some comforting way of dealing with it, something that will give us a little closure, a little peace.

Love is how you stay alive, even after you are gone.

When someone is in your heart, they're never truly gone. They can come back to you, even at unlikely times.

Accept who you are; and revel in it.

Death ends a life, not a relationship.

This is part of what a family is about, not just love. It's knowing that your family will be there watching out for you. Nothing else will give you that. Not money. Not fame. Not work.

We all yearn for what we have lost. But sometimes, we forget what we have.

The truth is, once you learn how to die, you learn how to live.

Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.

Nothing haunts us like the things we don't say.

Don't cling to things because everything is impermanent.

I was born on the night of Samhain, when the barrier between the worlds is whisper-thin and when magic, old magic, sings its heady and sweet song to anyone who cares to hear it.

I said to myself a long time ago that I didn't want to be that hanging-on-for-too-long, aging-rock-musician guy, and that's why I sort of got away from music.

I hate artists who are not of their time.

Where there's a chase or whatever, it's not being thrust into it.

AIDS is such a scary thing and it's also the kind of thing that you think won't happen to you. It can happen to you and it's deadly serious.

The sickly cultural pathos which the whole of France indulges in, that fetishism of the cultural heritage.

Anyone can love a perfect place. Loving Baltimore takes some resilience.

The body searches for that which has injured the mind with love.

Let no one tell me that silence gives consent, because whoever is silent dissents.

My dream job is to be a rock drummer and the alternate drummer for the Foo Fighters.
