“I think I'd rather have my heart broke than do the breaking. —Lena”

“I fear feeling my heart break a second time, because I'm not sure I could survive it. I'd rather live alone than risk the pain.”

“But I'd rather help than watch. I'd rather have a heart than a mind. I'd rather expose too much than too little. I'd rather say hello to strangers than be afraid of them. I would rather know all this about myself than have more money than I need. I'd rather have something to love than a way to impress you.”

“Never think I'm worried about losing sales by speaking out for human rights + gun control. I'd rather be broke than corrupt.”

“I hope I never figure out who broke your heart and if I do, if I do. I'd spend all night losing sleep. I'd spend the night and I'd lose my mind. Well I'd spend the night and I'd lose my mind.”

“I'd rather be eccentric and artistic, than be normal and have not one inch of art flowing through my heart.”
