"People haven't always been there for me, but music has."

"I'm intimidated by the fear of being average."

"There are two ways you can get through pain. You can let it destroy you, or you can use it as a fuel to drive you: dream bigger, work harder."

"People are going to judge you anyway, so you might as well do what you want."

"Just because there's a hurricane going on around you doesn't mean you have to open your window and look at it."

"Giving up doesn't always mean you're weak, sometimes you're just strong enough to let go."

"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened."

"The only words you'll regret more than the words left unsaid are the words you used to intentionally hurt someone."

"What I've learned is to not change who you are, because eventually you're going to run out of new things to become."

- Taylor Swift
