I could make the bad guys good for a weekend.

I'm captivated by you, baby, like a firework show.

I'm shining like fireworks over your sad, empty town

you're an expert at sorry and keeping the lines blurry

You are the only one who gets to decide what you will be remembered for.

Believe in everything you do. Believe in your mistakes and grow from them.

No matter how bad your day is, just be grateful this day is added to your life.

I still love writing in my journal and wearing sparkly dresses and looking at old chandeliers.

People are going to judge you anyway, so you might as well do what you want.

I think every girl's dream is to find a bad boy at the right time, when he wants to not be bad anymore.

I wish all teenagers can filter through songs instead of turning to drugs and alcohol.

Just sharing one little smile can change someone's whole world.

I have been blessed with luck, talent and opportunities, now it is my duty to add the hardworking element.

My life is like an O Henry story....the funniest girl in the world and the boy who never laughs.

The masses have never thirsted after truth. Whoever can supply them with illusions is easily their master; whoever attempts to destroy their illusions is always their victim.

The Bible carries with it the history of the creation, the fall and redemption of man, and discloses to him, in the infant born at Bethlehem, the Legislator and Savior of the world.

Rejection process is not fun. It's the red pen on the page, the discarded sketch, sometimes is the only way forward.

My mother told me...if you're going to get anywhere, you're going to have to do it yourself, because no one is going to do it for you.

If you are born black, it is better to be born now than in any other time in United States history. My grandson is black. His life is a different life than if he had been born when I was born.

[U]nless oppressed groups stick together, and on alliances of self interest rather than do-goodism; nothing can be accomplished in the long run to dismantle the apparatus of oppression.

It was there, beyond the skin of this world, that a cure of ugliness could be found.
