I will love you when you are a still day.I will love you when you are a hurricane.

It’s just so strange.You used to love me, and now you’re a strangerwho happens to know allof my secrets.

All this timeI drank you like the cure when maybeyou were the poison.

My battered heart will always be where the ocean meets the sand, I will break over and overEvery day. That is the best andworst part of me.

Our sins are more easily remembered than our good deeds.

When you're at the top, there's only one way to go.

I'm grateful to be an American. I am grateful that we can be angry at the terrorist assault and at the same time be intelligent enough not to hold a grudge against every Arab and every Muslim.
