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

Jewel
My whole goal is to keep my spirit intact. If that doesn't happen, none of this is worth it.
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
We must demand more not from each other, but more from ourselves
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.
