More quotes by Adam Duritz
I think the biggest, saddest thing that happens in our lives is that we just don't embrace the things that could make it better because they don't seem to make it better at any given moment or we can't decide how to get across the aisle to that person.
Adam Duritz
Over and over again in my life, I find closeness to other people and proximity to other people really painful that's part of my mental illness, social anxiety. Closeness to other people is really hard, but it's also a shame because it's all you want too. But it doesn't always work.
Adam Duritz
I'm not a spiritual person at all, but I do think that the world doesn't have to be as lonely as it is.
Adam Duritz
I have a lot of problems understanding connections between people and how to negotiate that. It makes everything hard offstage.
Adam Duritz
There's people who think what they need and what they deserve in their lives is a lot worse than what they actually do, so they get themselves involved in things that are needlessly painful: brutal relationships, abusive relationships.
Adam Duritz
I think I'd been limiting myself in some ways just writing in first person all the time.
Adam Duritz
When everybody loves me, I will never be lonely.
Adam Duritz
All my songs are where I am.
Adam Duritz
You aren't really writing about what you did you're writing about how you feel.
Adam Duritz
I find that truly heartbreaking that, like, it's such a common, constant thing in people's lives - a brutal abuse of people by other people, and it's just accepted.
Adam Duritz
If you want to really love someone, you've got to let go and loosen up and just care.
Adam Duritz
When you're young and you play music, you have a peer group, you come out of a scene. There's a lot of people you know, and then you have some success, and it all goes away.
Adam Duritz
Closeness to another person is like a fear of falling off a building to me. It's really, like, physically painful, and it's a brand of crazy I don't appreciate having.
Adam Duritz
I can remember being eight years old and having infinite possibilities. But life ends up being so much less that we thought it would be when we were kids, with relationships that are so empty and stupid and brutal. If you don't find a way to break the chain and change in some way, then you wind up, as the rhyme goes: a murder of one, for sorrow.
Adam Duritz
The nice thing about being on stage is it's not that I know what to do, but I have a very clear feeling that anything I do is OK. All I'm up there to do is express how I feel. Any way I choose to do that is fine.
Adam Duritz
If you've never stared off into the distance, then your life is a shame.
Adam Duritz
You have to kind of shift the way you look at life when you're in a group of people that you work with. It's not so much, do they make you feel good when you're around them all the time it's how can you make everyone feel comfortable together.
Adam Duritz
Losing fights, or even winning fights, can be heartbreaking, and you can throw that away, but the truth is that it does make our lives better.
Adam Duritz
I'm so busy trying to breathe through the pain that I'm breathing through the pain of being with people, and that is no way to spend a life. Eventually, they'll just go away, because you will make them sad. That's something I've proven quite adept at doing over the years.
Adam Duritz
Time and time again I can't please myself.
Adam Duritz
