More quotes by Jewel
Being engaged with life. One has to develop a poet's eye for perfect moments, moments that most people pass by.
Jewel
I grew up bar-singing and saw all kinds of ways people tried to outrun their emotional pain. It doesn't work. You end up with the original pain, as well as new pain added on top of it from the tactics you used trying to avoid it in the first place. It's best to take a deep breath, bolster yourself, and walk through it.
Jewel
Suffering is everywhere. Don't ever think it isn't. So are miracles. Don't ever think they aren't.
Jewel

Jewel
We are loved beyond our ability to comprehend.
Jewel
The savages are upon me and I feel my flesh burn beneath the teeth of their indifference.
Jewel

Jewel
Your life becomes what you believe.
Jewel
I make a living with a song, and I feel honored to do something I love and believe in.
Jewel
But maybe if we are surrounded in beauty Someday we will become what we see
Jewel
I've always been a workhorse, and I've been supporting myself since I was 15.
Jewel
Words can crush things that are unseen.
Jewel
I wanted to be an honest writer and show my ugliness as much as I showed my hopes or goodness. And that really sculpted the type of artist I've become.
Jewel
Maybe I could have loved you better. Maybe you should have loved me more. Maybe our hearts were just next in line. Maybe everything breaks sometime.
Jewel
I wrote the song 'Angels Standing By'... to try and soothe myself - rock myself to sleep, basically - because I was so scared and stressed.
Jewel
I’m somebody who, as a child, had a lot of insecurity about stable housing, where I was going to be living, if I was going to have a roof over my head, all those types of things. And I know the impact it can have on you psychologically and emotionally.
Jewel
