“I remember watching the mascara tears flood the ivories and I thought, "It's OK to be sad." I've been trained to love my darkness.”

“Underneath my lashes I watched him, and I thought,Come back. Be the you I love and remember”

“A remarkable thing about me is that the time that elapses between a sad thought and a flood of tears is three or four seconds.”

“I'm a musician. I write songs. I just hope when the day is done I've been able to tear a little corner off of the darkness.”

“I don't cry to get my way," I defended my emotional inabilities, and then began wiping away the tears. "It's just this is really hard.""Annalisa, if I thought for one second that the tears were fake, you wouldn't sway me. But, I've never seen so many honest tears in my life.”

“For if the darkness and corruption leaveA vestige of the thoughts that once I had,Better by far you should forget and smileThan that you should remember and be sad.”
