"Usually the hard stuff youâ€™re forced to do makes you learn a lot."

-- Lauren Barnholdt

“I think there's just so many people in the world that don't feel understood, and when you hear a song and you go, 'Oh, that song understands me,' that's an amazing feeling. I get it when I listen to the radio... That's a beautiful part of music.”
“I must have been a really tough kid to corral. I got disciplined quite frequently. I guess that would be the best way to say it. The rod, I wore out the rod. You know, Spare the rod and spoil the child? Well, I wore out the rod.”
“The most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen.”
“Is it mad to pray for better hallucinations?”
“To predict the future we would have to know today what we will learn tomorrow which will shape our future actions”
“In both cases, weakness and scruples had defeated strength and ruthlessness.”
“To give and not expect anything in return, that is what lies at the heart of love.”
“When I come up against the real world, I just vacillate.”
