Sometimes, I’m very embarrassed.

I went through every emotion with tryna pursue what I’m doing, you know what I mean? And I think what’s gon‘ separate whoever’s gon go for something, that you ain’t gon‘ quit.

No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear.

If you want to make someone feel emotion, you have to make them let go. Listening to something is an act of surrender.

I think love is one of the purest things you can sing about. One of the best things you can sing about.

I like to write about love and love lost because I feel like there are so many different subcategories of emotions that you can possibly delve into.

And were an epitaph to be my story I’d have a short one ready for my own. I would have written of me on my stone: I had a lover’s quarrel with the world.

I’ve got a crush on my backing singer.

Men must live and create. Live to the point of tears.

It is impossible for you to be angry and laugh at the same time. Anger and laughter are mutually exclusive and you have the power to choose either.

I mean, I feel like you get more bees with honey. But that doesn’t mean I don’t get frustrated in my life.

We must act out passion before we can feel it.

I just have a thing in my brain that when I’m about to do something that’s genuine or authentic, I think of it in song form. I’ll be like, ‚Yo, this is a human emotion that no one talks about.‘

I have good days and bad days.

There is nothing that makes its way more directly into the soul than beauty.

Strong emotions such as passion and bliss are indications that you’re connected to Spirit, or ‚inspired,‘ if you will. When you’re inspired, you activate dormant forces, and the abundance you seek in any form comes streaming into your life.

There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness.

Love is the wisdom of the fool and the folly of the wise.

Bitterness is like cancer. It eats upon the host. But anger is like fire. It burns it all clean.

To love is so startling it leaves little time for anything else.

There are no rules when it comes to love.

When men and woman die, as poets sung, his heart’s the last part moves, her last, the tongue.

Well, all comedy starts with anger. You get angry, and its never for a good reason, right? You know its not a good reason. And then you try and work it from there.

Hatred is blind, as well as love.

Then, when I’m in these relationships with people who are also creative, or creative in their own way, what happens is the attraction is initially there and it’s all unicorns and rainbows. And then they hate me.

Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love.

Boys do cry, but I don’t think I shed a tear for a good chunk of my teenage years.

Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.

I’m an emotional person. Sometimes I can’t help it.

I didn’t mean to hit the umpire with the dirt, but I did mean to hit that bastard in the stands.

Fear makes us feel our humanity.

The fact is that people are good, Give people affection and security, and they will give affection and be secure in their feelings and their behavior.

First love is only a little foolishness and a lot of curiosity.

The best book, like the best speech, will do it all – make us laugh, think, cry and cheer – preferably in that order.

I think the perfection of love is that it’s not perfect.

Unless you love someone, nothing else makes any sense.

Any experience that touches you, in any particular way, is good. It can be a horrible experience.

I do not think there is any thrill that can go through the human heart like that felt by the inventor as he sees some creation of the brain unfolding to success… such emotions make a man forget food, sleep, friends, love, everything.

Action seems to follow feeling, but really action and feeling go together; and by regulating the action, which is under the more direct control of the will, we can indirectly regulate the feeling, which is not.

The advantage of the emotions is that they lead us astray.

Vanity is as ill at ease under indifference as tenderness is under a love which it cannot return.

For me, often, there’s such a cloud of melancholia about knowing I’m going to have to leave my daughter on her own. I don’t know what age that is going to be, thank God. It just doubles me up in grief.

I love playing ego and insecurity combined.

The components of anxiety, stress, fear, and anger do not exist independently of you in the world. They simply do not exist in the physical world, even though we talk about them as if they do.

When you lose a person you love so much, surviving the loss is difficult.

There are more love songs than anything else. If songs could make you do something we’d all love one another.

Kissing someone is pretty intimate, actually very intimate, and your heart always kind of skips a beat before you do that.

I have feelings too. I am still human. All I want is to be loved, for myself and for my talent.

With music, you often don’t have to translate it. It just affects you, and you don’t know why.

All knowledge or form conception is evoked through the medium of the eye, either in response to disturbances directly received on the retina or to their fainter secondary effects and reverberations. Other sense organs can only call forth feelings which have no reality of existence and of which no conception can be formed.

I don’t hate women – they just sometimes make me mad.

Sometimes you can’t prioritise family and you feel guilty.

Having a child, that’s always been my biggest fear. I want a child and I fear a child.

To wear your heart on your sleeve isn’t a very good plan; you should wear it inside, where it functions best.

I hate violence, yes I do. It’s kind of a dilemma, huh?.

I had a lovers quarrel with the world.

There are strings in the human heart that had better not be vibrated.

Religious faith, like political belief, should be based on reasoning, on the development of thought and feelings. The two things are inseparable.

I am not a particularly thick-skinned person.

One can find so many pains when the rain is falling.

Almost all of our sorrows spring out of our relations with other people.
