Was Quotes

Architecture is life, or at least it is life itself taking form and therefore it is the truest record of life as it was lived in the world yesterday, as it is lived today or ever will be lived Picture Quote #1

I wouldn't mind seeing opera die. Ever since I was a boy, I regarded opera as a ponderous anachronism, almost the equivalent of smoking Picture Quote #1

My mother was very strong. Once, she picked up a coconut and smashed it against my father's head. It taught me about women defending themselves and not collapsing in a heap Picture Quote #1

The sun was down, and all the West was paved with sullen fire. I cried, behold! The barren beach of hell at ebb of tide Picture Quote #1

I grew up in a very masculine environment. So I was around a lot of men, my brothers and their friends. There was just a lot of guys around Picture Quote #1

I started playing piano when I was 6. And I knew that wanted to be involved in that form of expression, whether it was through music, or acting, or dancing, or painting, or writing Picture Quote #1

What influenced me was Tori Amos, who was unapologetic about expressing anger through music, and Sinead O'connor. Those two in particular were really moving for me, and very inspiring, before I wrote 'jagged little pill.' Picture Quote #1

I'm really clear about what my life mission is now. There's no more depression or lethargy, and I feel like I've returned to the athlete I once was. I'm integrating all the parts of me - jock, musician, writer, poet, philosopher - and becoming stronger as a result Picture Quote #1

Over the last couple of years, I've really worked toward balancing my life out more, having a little bit more time with friends, family and my boyfriend. There was a period of time when they were way down the list. It was all about music and touring and if everything fell by the wayside, so be it Picture Quote #1

Then I realized that secrecy is actually to the detriment of my own peace of mind and self, and that I could still sustain my belief in privacy and be authentic and transparent at the same time. It was a pretty revelatory moment, and there's been a liberating force that's come from it Picture Quote #1

At one point, I was just perceived as only being angry, but now I'm being perceived as angry, peaceful, and spiritual Picture Quote #1

But once I acclimated and really used fame for what it was offering me as a tool to serve my life purpose of inspiring and contributing, then it started to get fun again Picture Quote #1

It was character that got us out of bed, commitment that moved us into action, and discipline that enabled us to follow through Picture Quote #1

To hear some men talk of the government, you would suppose that congress was the law of gravitation, and kept the planets in their places Picture Quote #1

Seldom ever was any knowledge given to keep, but to impart; the grace of this rich jewel is lost in concealment Picture Quote #1

Brains and character rule the world. The most distinguished Frenchman of the last century said: men succeed less by their talents than their character.

All blame is a waste of time. No matter how much fault you find with another, and regardless of how much you blame him, it will not change you. The only thing blame does is to keep the focus off you when you are looking for external reasons to explain your unhappiness or frustration. You may succeed in making another feel guilty about something by blaming him, but you won't succeed in changing whatever it is about you that is making you unhappy Picture Quote #1

The greatest enjoyment possible to man was that which this philosophy promises its votaries-the pleasure of being always right, and always reasoning-without ever being bound to look at anything Picture Quote #1

Masters, I have to tell a tale of woe, a tale of folly and of wasted life, hope against hope, the bitter dregs of strife, ending, where all things end, in death at last Picture Quote #1

Late February days; and now, at last, might you have thought that winter's woe was past; so fair the sky was and so soft the air Picture Quote #1

Back in my rummy days, I would tremble and shake for hours upon arising. It was the only exercise I got Picture Quote #1
