"Those who are heartless, once cared too..." - Quote by Frank Ocean

“The first four and a half years was me in the studio every day, writing songs for other people. I had jobs, too - eleven jobs. I worked at Kinko's, Fatburger, Subway - I was a sandwich artist - and I was a claims processor at Allstate Insurance.”

“As a writer, as a creator, I'm giving you my experiences. But just take what I give you. You ain't got to pry beyond that.”

“All in all, I just don't trust journalists - and I don't think it's a good practice for me to trust journalists.”

“Pain is superficial, and therefore fear is. The torments of martyrdoms are probably most keenly felt by the by-standers.”

“We want to avoid pain and have pleasure, so if our early attempts to achieve our dreams fail, we want to avoid the pain of future failure and rejection, so we stop trying and write it off with a broadbrush, "I'm just not driven enough, not well educated enough, not attractive enough, not smart enough."”

“I have a terrific headache.”

“The melancholy river bears us on. When the moon comes through the trailing willow boughs, I see your face, I hear your voice and the bird singing as we pass the osier bed. What are you whispering? Sorrow, sorrow. Joy, joy. Woven together, like reeds in moonlight.”

“The joke in our family is that we can cry reading the phone book.”

“The worst, the least curable hatred is that which has superseded deep love.”
