Sufjan Stevens Quotes

Why must I be lonely in love?

Do you know what it's like to love and be alone?

My cards and flowers always got rejected on Valentines Day.

Mother's Day is a torment if your mother is dead. Valentine's Day is a torment if you don't got one. And at some point in our lives, we will be tormented by Valentine's Day even if we're relatively lucky in love.

Like you and your woman ain't gettin' along and you're in love. You can't sleep at nights. Your mind is on her - on whatever. You know, that's the blues. You can't hug that money at night. You can't kiss it.

You can always write a song about people who are in love, but they're in love, so they're happy; they don't need you. But the people that I try to worry about are the ones who don't have anyone to give chocolate to, and the girl who doesn't have flowers coming to her.

When David left me I became totally brokenhearted.

The last time I saw him he was walking down lover's lane holding his own hand.

At the beginning and at the end of love, the two lovers are embarrassed to find themselves alone.

Depression is when you have lots of love, but no one's taking.

Now that I have found someone, I'm feeling more alone... than I ever have before.

Music I heard with you was more than music, and bread I broke with you was more than bread. Now that I am without you, all is desolate; all that was once so beautiful is dead.

For the most part, that message hasn't changed a lot over the years - love is still love, and heartbreak is still heartbreak.

It smote me to the heart that I had found no one in all the world who loved me more than all others.

Love and despair go hand in hand.

I've definitely had my moments in relationships where I've been able to say yes, I have been heartbroken, my heart has been broken.

Everyone falls in love, everyone gets their heart broken.

I've never been in love. I've dreamt of it day and night, but my heart is like a fine piano no one can play because the key is lost.

Few beautiful women were willing to indicate in public that they belonged to someone. I had known enough women to realize this. I accepted them for what they were and love came hard and very seldom. When it did it was usually for the wrong reasons. One simply became tired of holding back love and let it go because it needed some place to go. Then, usually, there was trouble.

I love no one but you, I have discovered, but you are far away and I am here alone. Then this is my life and maybe, however unlikely, I'll find my way back there. Or maybe, one day, I'll settle for second best. And on that same day, hell will freeze over, the sun will burn out and the stars will fall from the sky.

It must be less wicked to love the wrong person than not to love anybody at all.
