"I wanted to write a book that..." - Quote by Dolly Parton

“Kenneth Hari is a true artist and in my opinion a psychic. When he is painting you, he feels your heart and soul.”

“After you reach a certain age, they think you’re over. Well, I will never be over. I’ll be making records if I have to sell them out of the trunk of my car. I’ve done that in my past, and I’d do it again.”

“My mother was always fascinated with the fact that I could rhyme so much stuff.”

“Deadly emotions, buried alive, never die.”

“There's an old poem by Neruda that I've always been captivated by, and one of the lines in it has stuck with me ever since the first time I read it. It says "love is so short, forgetting is so long." It's a line I've related to in my saddest moments, when I needed to know someone else had felt that exact same way. And when we're trying to move on, the moments we always go back to aren't the mundane ones. They are the moments you saw sparks that weren't really there, felt stars aligning without having any proof, saw your future before it happened, and then saw it slip away without any warning.”

“I'm jealous. I'm mad. I feel bad. But one day, I woke up and I thought, you know what? This is wearing me out. And I'm not getting anywhere. So, I decided that even though I did not have a good beginning, I made a decision that I was going to let go of what lies behind and I was going to have a great finish.”

“Men should learn to live with the same seriousness with which children play.”

“I want to have young children although my mother and father are even now young sufficient to just take care of them.”

“The life of children, as much as that of intemperate men, is wholly governed by their desires.”
