Amos Lee

“No one, and nothing, will ever hurt you as long as I'm alive.”
“When your spirit is heavy, when your heart is broken, when your burdens seem unbearable - trust Him. Look to Him.”
“Girls of all kinds can be beautiful...”
“I still feel that sincerity and realism are avant-garde, or can be, just as I did when I started out.”

“Right now, I am a football player and I will sacrifice whatever is necessary to be the best.”
“I had to find meaning in it. So I go through this, I see all these homies die; I see all this terrible devastation, people sitting in prison. I've been saved from prison, from death, and from heroine addiction. What am I going to do with that?”

“And one of the things that I learned was you can't generalise at all about a woman in a veil. You can't think you know her story, because she will confound you over and over again. She may be an engineer or a diplomat or a doctor. Or she may be an unbelievable babe with bleached hair down to her waist.”
“Sleep would be so welcome. A warm blanket of black to erase everything else. Sleep without dreams.”
