Fervor is a fire that makes things boil and grow hot, just as fire causes water to boil. It is, properly speaking, charity on fire, and that is what you should have because a Daughter without Charity is like a body without a soul.

More quotes by St. Vincent
I just love playing guitar, so that's what I'm going to do.
St. Vincent
I wish I had a gentle mind and a spine made up of iron.
St. Vincent
I guess trying to throw my body into the guitar is so natural for me that I don't even know how to explain it. I can't imagine life without it.
St. Vincent
I've been so entwined with technology since I was about 15, recording myself and multitracking and producing things on my own.
St. Vincent
In regards to being a fashion aficionado, there's a certain amount of taking yourself seriously in the professional world. The self-effacing person can't completely go down the serious road. But I design, and love when things are beautiful.
St. Vincent
It is absolutely necessary, both for our advancement and the salvation of others, to follow always and in all things the beautiful light of faith
St. Vincent
I've always been pretty ravenous about pop culture, highbrow and lowbrow.
St. Vincent
Musically, I have more things in common with tons of bands that have no female members.
St. Vincent
I'm unqualified to do anything other than music.
St. Vincent
Well, I've been recording myself on a computer since I was about 13 or 14. So it's completely entwined with my creative process. Essentially, it allows you to make music that's better and smarter than you are, by using your ears to lead the way.
St. Vincent
One of my favourite things about country music is that, at least until recently, you could always count on a solid story, a punchline and a pun. I think it has that in common with hip hop, where they're not afraid of wordplay and I really appreciate that.
St. Vincent
Leaden trumpets spit the soot of power they sayI'm on your side when nobody is, cause nobody is.Come sit right here and sleep while I slip poison in your ear
St. Vincent
Whirlyball is only the most awesome sport on the planet! It's like bumper cars plus lacrosse meets basketball.
St. Vincent
I think in some ways, it can do a listener a disservice to explain a song. I think I'd rather leave a little room for people to put themselves in it.
St. Vincent
No matter what others say or do, even if the wicked succeed, do not be troubled: commit everything to God and put your trust in him.
St. Vincent
I've been watching a lot of Joan Didion interviews on YouTube. I love her. My drummer has gotten me into looking at Terence McKenna interviews.
St. Vincent
I remember looking at the sky and thinking that the universe is so big and it's all chaos. I call it 'the dark fear.' At any moment, the dark fear could come in.
St. Vincent
I think human beings have a really broad spectrum of traits, and I almost feel implicated when we say, 'Men are like this, women are like this.' Nobody was telling me, 'Don't get dirty, don't play in the mud, girls don't do that.'
St. Vincent
Go to the poor there you will find God.
St. Vincent
I think a lot of people who want to be musicians terrify their parents because they don't have a living example of it in their families, and I did. So I always knew that it was possible.
St. Vincent
