I've got a war in my mind

---

Everything I do, I do it for somebody I've never met before, something in the great beyond. That's my primary relationship, really, is with something divine. I feel a connection as real with that as I've ever had with anybody on this earth.

---

I want to stay hopeful, even though I get scared about why we're even alive at all.

---

I pretend I'm not hurt, I walk about the world like I'm having fun.

---

We have nothing to lose, nothing to gain, nothing we desired anymore- except to make our lives into a work of art.

---

when your happiness is someone else's happiness, that is love

---

I only know how to do me, so that's just what I'm going to do.

---

My idea of a true feminist is a woman who feels free enough to do whatever she wants.

---

The world needs poetry now more than ever. It's the only thing that can keep music from copying itself and sounding the same.

---

It takes getting everything you ever wanted and then losing it, to know what true freedom is.
