More quotes by Melissa Etheridge
You are digging for the answers until your fingers bleed, to satisfy the hunger, to satiate the need.... And as you pray in your darkness for wings to set you free, you are bound to your silent legacy.
Melissa Etheridge
To deserve this fate what have I ever done?... All I want is just a little piece of mind but the angels won't have it.
Melissa Etheridge
Believe in yourself and what you feel. Your power will come from that.
Melissa Etheridge
I think it has done us more harm believing in the huge differences between left and right, Democrat and Republican.
Melissa Etheridge
People ask me, 'Is being a parent the be-all, end-all?' And I say, 'Oh, it definitely is up to the person, and it is difficult, it can be very difficult, and it can be extremely healing.' That's what I have found, that the children are mirrors. Everyone is a mirror, but children especially because they're day and night and all day long.
Melissa Etheridge
I am a songwriter. I do get to put my personal experiences in song.
Melissa Etheridge
I can look at cancer as a disease that picks me out and 'why me,' or I can look at it through love and say, 'This is a wake-up call. This is my body telling me: 'Hey, you're out of balance here. It's time to get in line with yourself.'
Melissa Etheridge
This is the only naked man that will ever be in my bedroom.
Melissa Etheridge
I can be a rock star with a television show and still have a self-esteem problem. So it's nice to have your dad go, 'Hey Melissa, I'm proud of you - you're doing good.'
Melissa Etheridge
All men, and women, and everything in between are created equal.
Melissa Etheridge
I'm so close to Heaven, this Hell cannot be mine.
Melissa Etheridge
We have a choice every day between fear and love.
Melissa Etheridge
Don't let anyone tell you that you have to be a certain way. Be unique. Be what you feel.
Melissa Etheridge
I think being a parent is knowing how to love. Sometimes love is discipline, sometimes it's humor, sometimes it's listening.
Melissa Etheridge
Empty and cold, but it keep me alive. I gave it my soul, so that I could survive.
Melissa Etheridge
I think the best way to be an activist is to live your life well and be honest. It means being out. If you are not comfortable marching, you can make a big difference just by working side by side with someone who actually knows you're gay and a fine human being.
Melissa Etheridge
When I grew up, there were no songs about gay people.
Melissa Etheridge
I've worked since I was 11 years old, playing music and following the dream, and shaking and moving and doing it. And then, you have cancer and it was like 'Ooooohh.' It was like a big eraser. It was the only thing in my life that had ever made me just stop.
Melissa Etheridge
Mothers, tell your children: be quick, you must be strong. Life is full of wonder, love is never wrong. Remember how they taught you, how much of it was fear. Refuse to hand it down - the legacy stops here.
Melissa Etheridge
The sign says do not enter, no trespassing allowed. With visions of redemption I walk against the crowd.
