One of Katie's favorite quotes is:"âI turned the volume up, more and more, until the music was so loud and powerful that it battered against my ears and there was nothing to do but give myself up to it, surrender to it. I wanted the music to make this terrible, empty feeling go away. When I concentrated on the music hard enough, the fear and the loneliness disappeared. I was in a place where there was nothing but the music. Just the pounding, glorious, primal beat of the drums, the dizzying roar of the electric guitarâ¦â-Cherie Currie
âOnly once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that youâve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointmentslife has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you canât wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid itâs like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didnât exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long dayâs work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, thereâs no need for continuous conversation, but you find youâre quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that thereâs a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experien...Expand for more
ce a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure thatâs so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.â â Bob Marley
"If the opposite is true than of course bad things happen to good people.
Of this I am convinced love only has legs so it can run away."-Pete Wentz
"you know, for those who fight for it, life has a flavor the sheltered will never know"
"I think my favorite part of touring is the connection that I make with my fans, its 2000 strangers bonding, its me and them. Its 2000 strangers coming together over music. And I just think thats so beautiful....You know that I realize no matter where I am, that theres a bigger purpose and its to use your voice, and its to inspire people, its to get people through their days and their problems, and its to get people up when theyre down."-Demi Lovato
"we waste it all in the back of a long dark car, and i'm a sunshine machine, i wanna get stuck, i wanna get stuck and be golden in your memories"
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant,
gorgeous, talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesnât serve the world.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
Itâs not just in some of us; itâs in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.â
"we live, we learn, we forgive, and never give up, cause the days we are given are gifts from above and today we remember to live and to love."
" i think everyone should be constantly encouraged to try to live a life they dream rather than settling for something they know is mediocre or that they don't truly enjoy. not saying it's an easy thing to do... it can suck getting to that point but it's worth every ounce of everything it takes''-hayley williams
"Hopefully I'm inspiring people and thats my only goal. You can win awards, you can sell alot of records but it doesnt mean nothing unless you inspire someone else"
-Demi Lovato
"be yourself, theres no one better"
"anybody who puts me down only inspires me"
"I will remain where the top begins, cause I am not a word, I am not a line, I am not a girl that can every be defined, I am not fly, I am levitation, I represent an entire generation"
"Music is the only thing that makes sense anymore man, play it loud enough and it keeps the demons at bay."
"Imperfection is beauty, madness is genious. And it is better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring. " -Marilyn Monroe".
