Sarah McLachlan Quotes

Your love is just the antidote when nothing else can cure me.

You're in the arms of the Angels; may you find some comfort here.

I like the idea that we build up these walls or rules or laws to maintain our reality, and when they fall away, you're left with a whole bunch of illusions.

And all that did was drive me to push back. If someone says, "You can't do this," I'm like, "F-ck you! Oh, yes I can, and I will."

It's easier to believe in this sweet madness, oh this glorious sadness, that brings me to my knees.

I believe this is Heaven to no one else but me.

Through this world I've stumbled, so many times betrayed, trying to find an honest word, to find the truth enslaved.

Oh darkness, I feel like letting go.

Larger than life is your fiction in a universe made up of one.

I will rememeber you. Will you remember me? Don't let your life pass you by and don't forget all your memories.

I've learned to trust myself, to listen to truth, to not be afraid of it and to not try and hide it.
