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
Got no place to go, but there's a girl waitin' for me down in Mexico. She got a bottle of tequila, a bottle of gin, and if I bring a little music, I could fit right in.
Adam Duritz
Bravery is what you can do in the face of things that hurt and scare you, but you do it anyway.
Adam Duritz
My life isn't necessarily more important than anyone else's: I'm just better in talking about it.
Adam Duritz
You aren't really writing about what you did you're writing about how you feel.
Adam Duritz
If you wrap yourself in daffodils I will wrap myself in pain...
Adam Duritz
