Whenever I get upset, I remember that it takes 42 muscles to frown and only 4 to stick up your middle finger.
John RzeznikMarriage is a really scary thing. I'm excited about it. I know it's not a mistake, it's the absolute right thing to do. I'm really happy about it. I really, really love my fiancee. We're good friends and I think it's going to work. But that's just the point - it's going to take work. It does make me feel vulnerable to be like, wow, I'm committed to this person for the rest of my life.
John RzeznikThe fear of rejection really kind of stunts your growth as a person. I mean, it's like a friend of mine says, who cares if you fail? Who cares if you fail? It's like babies try to get up and walk all the time and they keep falling down. If we just gave up, we'd all be crawling around.

Now women are being forced to do that too. But I admire their capacity to bear their spirituality so much more deeply than men.
