More quotes by Jewel
We'll fight, not out of spite For someone must stand up for what's right 'Cause where there's a man who has no voice There ours shall go singing My hands are small I know But they're not yours, they are my own But they're not yours, they are my own I am never broken In the end only kindness matters In the end only kindness matters

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
Life is seductive, yet so few allow themselves to be seduced.
Jewel
Without a band, I'm much more free to improvise.
Jewel

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
A good love is delicious, you can't get enough too soon.
Jewel
We are each others angels in the way that we answer each others prayers and we can also make each others lives miserable.
