Taylor Swift Quotes

How you recover from what life's throwing at you is what matters.

Once you had put the pieces back together, even though you may look intact, you were never quite the same as you'd been before the fall.

It has always seemed to me that broken things, just like broken people, get used more; it's probably because God has more pieces to work with.

I don't think I have thick skin, but I heal fast. It's easy to break through, but I heal fast.

I've been on the floor and I've been heartbroken. I didn't know how I was going to stand up. But I just gave it time.

Of course! It takes a lot of strength to mend a broken heart. Channelising energies into your work helps, but also to be able to accept situations for what they are instead of questioning them helps immensely.

Resilience can go an awful long way.

I need to be someone who didn't break because of what I've been through.

Whatever happens, you can always make it back somehow!

If you wake up / And the day feels broken / Just lean into the crack

I survived this torture which left me paralyzed for years. That's what that night was all about, mutilation, more than violence through sex. I really do feel as though I was psychologically mutilated that night and now I'm trying to put the pieces back together again. Through love, not hatred. And through my music. My strength has been to open again, to life, and my victory is the fact that, despite it all, I kept alive my vulnerability.

You're not weak at all. Wounded, but that's nothing to be ashamed of.

You spend so much time, so much effort, trying to hold yourself together. And then everything falls apart anyway.

The process of growth is, it seems, the art of falling down. Growth is measured by the gentleness and awareness with which we once again pick ourselves up, the lightness with which we dust ourselves off, the openness with which we continue and take the next unknown step, beyond our edge, beyond our holding, into the remarkable mystery of being.

Things falling apart is a kind of testing and also a kind of healing.

It takes ten times as long to put yourself back together as it does to fall apart.

I think it's an amazing quality to be able to roll with the punches and not be totally ruined as a person because life's been rough for you. That's a really admirable way to go through your life.

My music is about being strong, even in your vulnerability.

I don't think that you can let the storms of life overwhelm you. When you do that, you are no better than the craziness that caused you to be under attack.

It takes strength to make your way through grief, to grab hold of life and let it pull you forward.

I am a woman who has my extreme vulnerable side and my baggage - and at times I feel extremely weak.

Break a vase, and the love that reassembles the fragments is stronger than that love which took its symmetry for granted when it was whole.

I love the concept of the romance that exists when people are broken. Like, the promise of a romance when you're at the bottom. I think that's infinitely compelling and romantic.
