When you're standing in deep water And you're bailing yourself out with a straw And when you're drowning in deep water And you wake up making love to a wall Well it's these little time that help to remind It's nothing without love, love, love

More quotes by Jewel
We must demand more not from each other, but more from ourselves
Jewel
Cynicism is for lightweights.
Jewel
I was Renee Zellweger's fat doppelganger. If she ever played in a movie where she needed to be fat, apparently I could be her stunt double.
Jewel
But maybe if we are surrounded in beauty Someday we will become what we see
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
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.
Jewel
Suffering is everywhere. Don't ever think it isn't. So are miracles. Don't ever think they aren't.
Jewel
I love vulnerability. It's what keeps me soft and from becoming emotionally calcified.
Jewel
We can't underestimate the value of silence. We need to create ourselves, need to spend time alone. If you don't, you risk not knowing yourself and not realizing your dreams.
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 love to be alone with life. I love to study simple things: the light as it filters in a window the music of a room full of people chatting a horizon.
Jewel
I guess I’m a Gemini through and through, but I’m mercurial. I get bored doing the same things.
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
Worry is wasteful and useless in times like these.
Jewel
Most of us don't spend any time knowing ourselves. We just keep reacting.
Jewel
Life is seductive, yet so few allow themselves to be seduced.
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
I was thinking that I might fly today. Just to disprove all the things you say... please be careful with me, I'm sensitive, and I'd like to stay that way.
Jewel
Lots of people have gone from public housing to do great things in the world and have a tremendous sense of duty to their fellow man because of it.
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.
