More quotes by 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
I get bored very easily. I have a voracious appetite and I do not feel alive if I'm repeating something I'm good at. So I'm always looking for new challenges.
Jewel
Words can crush things that are unseen.
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
It's been too many nights of being with to now be suddenly without.
Jewel
Only kindness matters. We are God's hands.
Jewel
On my own I generally have very messy hair, wear jeans and sneakers.
Jewel
I have this theory - that if we're told we're bad, then that's the only ideal we'll ever have.
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
I will gather myself around my faith, for light does the darkness most fear.
Jewel
I'm having a bad day. I am not size six. My legs are not skinny as sticks, and dammit, someone's got to pay. I'm afraid that I can't satisfy myself and that my happiness depends on someone else. I feel weak, so you're gonna take the fall. You're so shallow.
Jewel
The savages are upon me and I feel my flesh burn beneath the teeth of their indifference.
Jewel
I never found much comfort in overly organized religion of any sort.
Jewel
Excuse me, guess I've mistaken you for somebody else, somebody who gave a damn, somebody more like myself.
Jewel
I believe in liberty and freedom for all. I believe in gay marriage.
Jewel
I've always had a love for poetry and when I got signed to a record label I thought, 'How odd that I'm doing a record before a book of poetry.'
Jewel
I say to myself, sometimes the tide is just out. But it always comes back in again.
Jewel
Most of us don't spend any time knowing ourselves. We just keep reacting.
Jewel
I want love to be simple. I want to trust without thinking. I want to be generous with my affection and patience and love unconditionally. It is easier to love a person with their flaws than to weed through them. I want to love the whole person, not parts and this is how I want to be loved.
Jewel
Worry is wasteful and useless in times like these.
