What you once were isn't what you want to be anymore.

Everything alive must die. Every building built to the sky will fall. Don't try to tell me my everlasting love is a lie.

I don't like being in public with headphones on. I don't know how people can do it. It seems like you're so cut off from your environment. I feel like I'd get hit by a car.

I still love poetic imagery. I love the idea of using surrealist speak to generate lyrical content and I love the way English can be exciting in and of itself.

You have to learn how to die if you wanna be alive.

Anybody who'd expend energy preventing people from hearing music seems not to understand the basic principal of making music in the first place. It's so antithetical to being a musician.

Treating your audience like thieves is absurd. Anyone who chooses to listen to our music becomes a collaborator.

I really enjoy playing solo acoustic. I think it's good for me as a songwriter to stay in touch with what it takes to make a song work by yourself.

Writing songs has always been hard and easy. It's not always easy when you want it to be, and then sometimes it's just like turning on the faucet. That's just the nature of it.

We live in a connected world now. Some find that frightening. If people are downloading our music, they're listening to it. The internet is like radio for us.

I know my lies are always wishes.

I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.

I do not fear pain.

When water fountains start charging to drink, then you know we have a problem.

Truth: We are the present. We are now. We are the razor's edge of history. The future flies at us and from that dark blur we shape the past. And the past is forever.

Being in a hurry is the father of stress and worry.

There is an awful warmth about my heart like a load of immortality.

Two may talk together under the same roof for many years, yet never really meet; and two others at first speech are old friends.

If you liked a book, don't meet the author

As you know, a theory in physics is not useful unless it is able to predict underlined effects which we would otherwise expect.

I'm always a sucker for a love story.
