"Roses aren’t always red,
nor the sky always blue."
"And I’m thinking it’s time to open our eyes. This world is not war, not pain, not hate. This world is a fear of love that kills us inside and leaves us to decide that we’d rather watch them die than look into their eyes and realize they’re alive and we’re alive together."
“I noticed that when I was happy, I had nothing to write, no thoughts to produce, no emotions to portray. It is when I am in pain, suffering, or in love, that I have something to use as leverage. It is quite sad to solidify the claim, that art never comes from happiness. But it is the truest phrase I have ever heard.”
