“The sun always shines above the clouds.”
“Our emotions are meant to draw us toward God, not away from Him.”
“O que realmente importa são as emoções subjacentes - você não deve abandoná-las.”
“I am not a victim of emotional conflicts. I am human.”
“My wanting to cry was a reflection mainly of my social conscience”
“Can you see me inside out? My soul and not my garter? My screams and not my heels?”

“I think there is something beautiful in reveling in sadness. The proof is how beautiful sad songs can be. So I don’t think being sad is to be avoided. It’s apathy and boredom you want to avoid. But feeling anything is good, I think. Maybe that’s sadistic of me.”

“Love is without a doubt the laziest theory for the meaning of life, but when it actually comes a time to do it we find just enough energy to over-complicate life again.

Most people who deal in words don t have much faith in them and I am no exception--especially the big ones like Happy and Love and Honest and Strong. They are too elusive and far too relative when you compare them to sharp, mean little words like Punk and Cheap and Phony. I feel at home with these, because they re scrawny and easy to pin, but the big ones are tough and it takes either a priest or a fool to use them with any confidence.”
