More quotes by Jewel
But maybe if we are surrounded in beauty Someday we will become what we see
Jewel
Reality is what you believe it to be. It's what you put your thought and energy into, because your hands physically manifest thought. So your world becomes what you feel and what you think.
Jewel
I never found much comfort in overly organized religion of any sort.
Jewel
I used to love reading when I was little, and then it became difficult and I didn't understand why. I thought, what a bummer, my passion all drained out of me. So when I found out I had dyslexia, it was like, oh, that's what it was.
Jewel
I didn't mean to be a songwriter I just was writing for fun, you have all day to do it. I was homeless so that's all I had to do.
Jewel
I love vulnerability. It's what keeps me soft and from becoming emotionally calcified.
Jewel
I've had mentors who were kind of the troubadour singer-songwriters, like Merle Haggard, Loretta Lynn, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan and Neil Young, and that's just what I've always liked - people who would talk real honestly about their lives and their circumstance.
Jewel
I'm becoming more and more myself with time. I guess that's what grace is. The refinement of your soul through time.
Jewel
You have to realize: OK, I don't know how to solve a political problem, I don't know how to solve the pollution problem... all I know is in my own life, I need to figure out some sense of purpose, I need to figure out how to be happy... and I'm willing.
Jewel
Self love is a great recurring theme, the headwaters that feed my ability to be the best version of myself in every other aspect of my life. Self worth sets the standard that life meets.
Jewel
Suffering is everywhere. Don't ever think it isn't. So are miracles. Don't ever think they aren't.
Jewel
Being part of the natural world reminds me that innocence isn't ever lost completely we just need to maintain our goodness to regain it.
Jewel
Most of us don't spend any time knowing ourselves. We just keep reacting.
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
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.
Jewel
We are loved beyond our ability to comprehend.
Jewel
It's just an inch from me to you depending on what map you use.
Jewel
I consider myself a product of Alaska. The love and the debt that I feel to my home state, you always want your hometown to be the proudest of you.
Jewel
Live your life with love and bravery and you shall lead a life uncommon.
Jewel
I was really inspired while I was pregnant and I wrote a whole album for my baby. I wanted to write a kids album that didn't annoy parents. I used The Beatles 'Rocky Raccoon' as sort of a starting place for my writing.
