Here is all I ask of a book- give me everything. Everything, and don't leave out a single word.

When mom and dad went to war the only prisoners they took were the children

Fantasy is one of the soul's brighter porcelains.

I could bear the memory, but I could not bear the music that made the memory such a killing thing.

My wound is geography. It is also my anchorage, my port of call.

I’ve never had anyone’s approval, so I’ve learned to live without it.

A story untold could be the one that kills you.

I don’t know why it is that I have always been happier thinking of somewhere I have been or wanted to go, than where I am at the time. I find it difficult to be happy in the present.

Without music and dance, life is a journey through a desert.

Once you have traveled, the voyage never ends, but is played out over and over again in the quietest chambers. The mind can never break off from the journey.

Music could ache and hurt, that beautiful music was a place a suffering man could hide.

Happiness is an accident of nature, a beautiful and flawless aberration.

You get a little moody sometimes but I think that's because you like to read. People that like to read are always a little fucked up.

Life is not a theme park, and if it is, the theme is death.

You can always get better. Nobody can stop you from getting better, and nobody can stop you from trying to make something right.

Streaming is a really big market for me. We've been doing great in the streaming market, so it's not something I want to alienate at all. Streaming counts now. They're treating artists the way we deserve to be treated.

I never know what day it is. Never, ever, ever.

Never a failure,always a lesson

Death is not extinguishing the light; it is only putting out the lamp because the dawn has come.

Your hunger blurs your ability,

All I want is blackness. Blackness and silence.

I may never be happy, but tonight I am content.

I must be lean & write & make worlds beside this to live in.

Wear your heart on your skin in this life.
