I've seen country music go uptown, like we say, and I'm proud I was there when it happened.

We are the number one offender
Of specieism and yet
Here we are reaching out for aliens
Looking for our salvation.
Pity our emptiness
Save our souls.

Don't count on me
I engineer on every
Move we make from here
I'll take the lead
You take the pain
You see, I engineered
This game.

Hitler was a good man and it takes some f—-ing balls for someone to say this out loud this day and age, especially for a public figure like myself, but you know what? SOMEONE NEEDS TO SPEAK THE TRUTH WITHOUT FEAR! Otherwise the dark cabal who currently control the world and all of the world bankers will continue to feed you their lies, feed off your emotions, take advantage of your emotions and will continue to keep you THEIR SLAVE!

Everything is everything
What is meant to be will be.
After winter, must come spring
Change, it comes eventually.

Relationships have a nasty habit of reversing themselves; whatever has been done to you in a previous involvement you'll do to the next person you're involved with, if you get half a chance.

Marianne Faithfull

I would never preach vegetarianism. It's such a personal choice. It's got to suit you, and be right for you: emotionally, spiritually and physically. If it's working for you, that's really great. … I definitely think there are some benefits. I know a lot of people that have had cancer, for example, and they'll make a point of telling me, 'The first thing my doctor told me to do was stop eating meat during this process.' I think it's interesting a doctor would suggest a vegetarian diet when you're already sick. … I stick to a mixture of real raw, whole-food items every day. I make sure I'm eating greens every day, and nuts, and food that's not processed. I do that every day.

I'm not the average girl from your video,
And I ain't built like a supermodel
But I learned to love myself unconditionally,
Because I am a queen.

Take it back
Oh, take it back
I don't want your lovin', anymore
Let me live
Oh, let me live
It's not you who I sing for

Zooey Deschanel

I remember really vividly kneeling by my bed as a nine-year-old, saying my prayers and asking God to give me boobs that were so big that if I laid on my back I wouldn't be able to see my feet.

I've got the world in a jug, the stopper's in my hand.

Those of us with ravaged faces, lacking in the social graces, desperately remained at home, inventing lovers on the phone.

We all love animals, but why do we call some 'pets' and others 'dinner'? If you knew how meat was made, you'd probably lose your lunch. I know. I'm from cattle country. That's why I became a vegetarian.

His eye is on the sparrow And I know He watches me.

Civilla D. Martin

You're falling all over me I'm losing myself in your mystery
I'm afraid of loving you, I'm afraid of losing me
I'm over my head and I'm seeing red
But I'm waiting right here for you in my bed

Michelle Lambert

So we must love, while these moments are still called today, take part in the pain of this passion play, stretching our youth as we must, until we are ashes to dust, until time makes history of us.

I thank God for my failures. Maybe not at the time but after some reflection. I never feel like a failure just because something I tried has failed.

Do not look at life's long sorrow; see how small each moment's pain.

Adelaide Anne Procter

If you consider the definition of authenticity, it's saying something and actually doing it. I write my own songs. I made my own videos. I pick my producers. Nothing goes out without my permission. It's all authentic.

I maintain that the best song is the one that ends up on the album. So whether I've written it or I haven't, I'm very comfortable with both.

I do know that there are some things that exist in this world that you just can't prove. That could be the case with God or whoever might be up there, but I don't follow any one religion.

I can feel a something pounding in my brain
Just any time that someone speaks your name
Trumpets sound and I hear thunder boom
Every time that you walk in the room.

Jackie DeShannon

I'm usually barefoot. That's how I'm most comfortable. I like my feet to be on the ground. I like to jump around, I like to fly across the stage.

The word workaholic is so severe, but I do focus a lot on my work... I think a lot about what I'm doing in all aspects of my life, what am I trying to achieve here, am I happy with this? Music is like a mirror in front of you. You're exposing everything, but surely that's better than suppressing.... You have to dig deep and that can be hard for anybody, no matter what profession. I feel that I need to actually push myself to the limit to feel happy with the end result.

While Jesus is saving, I'm spending all my days
in backgrounds and landscapes with the languages of saints.
While people are spinning like toys on Christmas day,
I'm inside a still life with the other absentee.
