"The drama and the trauma of the..." - Quote by Taylor Swift

“I like to write about relationships. I like it when my friends come over and we crowd around the piano and sing Journey songs at the top of our lungs... And I like things that make me feel seven again. I don't ever look down on people for the way they choose to have fun; it's just not necessarily the way I like to have fun.”

“Your feelings so are important to write down, to capture, and to remember because today you're heartbroken, but tomorrow you'll be in love again.”

“You learn lessons. A lot of them the hard way.”

“Each recognized the fact that real commitment could be proven only through the passage of time.”

“You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed.”

“I let people see the cracks in my life. We can't be phony. We've got to keep it real.”

“It's a troublesome world. All the people who are in it are troubled with troubles almost every minute. You ought to be thankful, a whole heaping lot, for the places and people you're lucky you're not.”

“In the struggle between yourself and the world second the world.”

“It is true you can be successful without [college], but this is a hard world, a real world, and you want every advantage you can have. I would suggest to people to do all that you can. When I dropped out of school, I had worked in the music industry and had checks cut in my name from record labels and had a record deal on the table, and when I wasn’t successful and Columbia said, ’We’ll call you,’ I had to go back and work a telemarketing job, go back to the real world, and that’s how life is. Life is hard. Take advantage of your opportunities.”
