More quotes by Jewel

Jewel
Love bravely, live bravely, be courageous there's really nothing to lose.
Jewel
I have this theory - that if we're told we're bad, then that's the only ideal we'll ever have.
Jewel
My life has been full of struggles - coming from a troubled home, moving out when I was fifteen, ending up homeless by eighteen. The one thing I always knew was being jaded and bitter was equal to letting life win.

I grew up bar-singing and saw all kinds of ways people tried to outrun their emotional pain. It doesn't work.

It's best to take a deep breath, bolster yourself, and walk through it.
Jewel

Jewel

Jewel
Suffering is everywhere. Don't ever think it isn't. So are miracles. Don't ever think they aren't.
Jewel
I want my whole life to be a great work of art, not just my art. And that means paying attention to my entire life and trying to make sure my whole life is balanced.
Jewel
I've always been a workhorse, and I've been supporting myself since I was 15.
Jewel
I'd rather see the world from a different angle.
Jewel
I'm trying to be in the moment and really enjoy my pregnancy. I feel really lucky.
Jewel
You have to be an ally in a difficult time and not turn on yourself with self-shaming thoughts, which makes facing pain intolerable.
