"Who you are is not where you've..." - Quote by Taylor Swift

“I've always strived to be successful, not famous.”

“All of my songs are autobiographical.”

“I've always been a hugger. If we all hugged more, the world would be a better place :)”

“For we think back through our mothers if we are women.”

“Russia was a slave in Europe but would be a master in Asia.”

“Pressed into service means pressed out of shape.”

“Part of me aches at the thought of her being so close yet so untouchable, but her story and mine are different now. It wasn't easy for me to accept this simple truth, because there was a time when our stories were the same, but that was six years and two lifetimes ago.”

“There is a fine balance between honoring the past and losing yourself in it. For example, you can acknowledge and learn from mistakes you made, and then move on and refocus on the now. It is called forgiving yourself.”

“We think that the world is limited and explained by its past. We tend to think that what happened in the past determines what is going to happen next, and we do not see that it is exactly the other way around! What is always the source of the world is the present; the past doesn't explain a thing. The past trails behind the present like the wake of a ship and eventually disappears.”
