We have a problem with no solution but to love and to be loved.
I keep drinking the ink from my pen, and I'm balancing history books up on my head, but it all boils down to one quotable frase; if you love something, give it away!
It's kind of a practical thing to do it this way,
I'll start drinking like the way I drank before. And I just won't have a future anymore.
It's not what you know, but what you're thinking half the time
And it all boils down to one quotable phrase... "If you love something, give it away.
We've all seen the power music has to spread messages of solidarity and hope.
My head's a carousel of pictures and The spinning never stops.
Everything must belong somewhere. I know that now, that's why I'm staying here.
If I loved you, well that's my fault
I like the Alice in Wonderland sculpture in Central Park. I love how it's been rained on forever and looks worn down by time.
I always embrace the worst-case scenario.
We must memorize nine numbers and deny we have a soul.
I have many friends who are both Mexican and Mexican-American and others who, I guess you would say, are somewhere in between. The ironic thing is that all three of those categories often exist inside of the same family.
