More quotes by Adam Duritz
You want to embrace, but I can't figure out how to hold on to it.
Adam Duritz
I feel like I've been in love, but I have stood aside from it over and over again in my life. It's all you want, but it's terrifying.
Adam Duritz
A long December and there's reason to believe, maybe this year will be better than the last.

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.

I can't remember all the times I've tried to tell myself to hold on to these moments as they pass
Adam Duritz
You aren't really writing about what you did you're writing about how you feel.
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
It's always music first, or melody and words together, but never words first.
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
You don't understand what makes you understand what makes your life better until you take something that makes it so much worse and you embrace that.
Adam Duritz
I've been playing music most of my life.
Adam Duritz
Sometimes the world seems like a big hole. You spend all your life shouting down it and all you hear are echoes of some idiot yelling nonsense down a hole.
Adam Duritz
Step out the front door like a ghost into the fog where noone notices the contrast of white on white.
Adam Duritz
I think I'd been limiting myself in some ways just writing in first person all the time.
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
