"I attribute a scab to the present state of society. The way the scab looks in its worst state is gross and chaotic and horrible, that's now, but when it breaks away, there's a brand new piece of skin …"

"Life's a match in a gas tank. Don't ever mourn the ebbing tide."

"Sometimes I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear."

"I'm keeping an eye on the future, an eye on the past, and the present in my pocket."

"Girl, it's time we met and made a mess."

"Can someone please explain to me your ever-present lack of speed?"

"I lean against the wind, pretend that I am weightless, and in this moment I am happy."

"Society must let the artist go, to wander off into their nebula."
