Funny the way it is, not right or wrong, somebody's heart is broken, and it becomes your favorite song.

I believe in love, but believe it's love that keeps beating me down.

Would you not like to be, sittin' on top of the world with your legs hanging free?

Oh, man, oh how I wish I didn't smoke or drink to reason with my head.

Life it seems a struggle between what we think and what we see

I think we have to be active in teaching our children, and teaching each other. We have to be active about kindness and about peace. I've always fantasized that it would be great if there was a Department of Peace. We have a military, but what if there was a department devoted entirely and truthfully to finding peaceful resolutions?

I think making things that aren't necessarily shiny, happy feelings, putting them in that environment is sometimes an easy way to deal with the ugliness. Like, I know that as a kid, that I found - I think I learned this a bit from my mother - that if I could be as warm around strangers, no matter how strange or what different environment I was in, that people tended to be warm back.
