Character in great and little things means carrying through what you feel able to do.

I think all women go through periods where we hate this about ourselves we don't like that. It's great to get to a place where you dismiss anything you're worried about. I find flaws attractive. I find scars attractive.

Life in abundance comes only through great love.

I have a great respect for incremental improvement and I've done that sort of thing in my life but I've always been attracted to the more revolutionary changes. I don't know why. Because they're harder. They're much more stressful emotionally. And you usually go through a period where everybody tells you that you've completely failed.

Suffering becomes beautiful when anyone bears great calamities with cheerfulness not through insensibility but through greatness of mind.

Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?

Government is the great fiction through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else.

The battleline between good and evil runs through the heart of every man.

I learnt a whole lot from my mother. About music relationships being a good person loving people the whole of life. I learnt about everything from her. Every single day I think about her. All through the day.

You could write a song about some kind of emotional problem you are having but it would not be a good song in my eyes until it went through a period of sensitivity to a moment of clarity. Without that moment of clarity to contribute to the song it's just complaining.
