More quotes by 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.'

Melissa Etheridge

The sign says do not enter, no trespassing allowed. With visions of redemption I walk against the crowd.
Melissa Etheridge
When you grow up in one town and your life revolves around it, you are very aware of any darkness on the edge of town. That's because it's scary and it's inviting.
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
I kind of thought when I was 30 that you're as good as your going to get. And that's not true.
Melissa Etheridge
What I do believe in is other worlds and spirits. There is some other power in control - levels of energy that perhaps we don't see.
Melissa Etheridge
