I can't not put myself in the shoes of every person I pass.
Don't let what you have to heal from blind you to how much there is to heal for.
Time is really for those who really need it. I mean, I deal with it. A lot of people are slaves to the second, minute hand. I can't do that!
The woman in you is the worry in me.
There's so much there, there's so much to heal for.
It just takes a pebble to bring down a good man.
In my life I have been blessed In my life I have been cursed I have lived the best of times I have suffered the worst Do you know which road you're traveling? Do you know where you want to be? With so many roads to travel, There's just one can set you free.
I don't kid myself in thinking that I'm on the front lines. I know the people who are on the front lines. I mean there are people in some freakin' significant places making on-the-ground social front line change. I've marched. I've put feet on the ground for what I believe and what I'm against with no compromise. And there are people who are risking a whole hell of a lot more than me to make change, that's for damn sure.
Don't be discouraged by writer's block. Writer's block just means you need to listen to other music.
Sometimes I feel I know strangers Better than I know my friends Why must a beginning Be the means to an end? The stones from my enemies These wounds will mend But I cannot survive The roses from my friends.
Life's the longest picture you're ever gonna take.
Every man's actions belong to him.
If you're gonna live, then live it up.
There's no room in my life for religion. Religion is separation and segregation of God. How can you segregate the Almighty?
