This world, it is a tempest sometimes. But remember, the sun always rises again.
It is not in the still calm of life, or the repose of a pacific station, that great characters are formed.
Early on, yeah, my life was a bit of a roller coaster.
If I ever felt like I was getting lost in the hurricane that was storming around Nirvana, I'd just go back to Virginia.
storming, enjoying, planning, loving, cautioning, Backing and filling, appearing and disappearing, I tread day and night such roads.
When I'm a ship tossed around on the waves, Up on a highwire that's ready to break. When I've had just about all I can take, baby you save me
On life's vast ocean diversely we sail, Reason the card, but passion is the gale; Nor God alone in the still calm we find, He mounts the storm, and walks upon the wind.
My past is a bit checkered.
The last few years have been pretty hectic.
Life is an emotional rollercoaster. It really is.
I've got the weight of a rather tempestuous life to carry.
She will love deeply--suffer terribly--she will have glorious moments to compensate.
How often is the passing of one storm only a prelude to another.
Life is a shitstorm, in which art is our only umbrella." (spoken by character in a novel by Mario Vargas Llosa)
I swear to God, my career is like this weird origami thing.
My life has been, I suppose, the most incredible series of highs and lows.
But I beneath a rougher sea, And whelmed in deeper gulfs than he.
His life rushes onward in such torrential rhythm that...only angels and devils can catch the tempo of it.
The curse of an interesting life: there are either very good times or very bad times.
I was very much a mess, as a person. I'd come from a very turbulent teenage life, with parents who had broken up in a very bad way, and a lot of illness at school.
My father was a wildfire. Really. Nobody could save him from anything. His family turned away from him, and he broke up with his first wife. It just happened to be that when he was going to get back up on his feet, my mother was there.
I was a quicksilver girl who saw every leaf on every tree. For me, there was no middle ground between sinking and flying, and once I was into my early adult years, my roller coaster got wilder and faster: I seemed to rise and fall with the same reckless velocity.
Most of my life, I feel I have been Unicycling at the Edge of the Abyss! If fact, this will be the name of my book if I ever write one, or a one man stand up routine. I have used it as the name of a collection of my musical compositions written during the '90s. It fits the scary journey I feel I've been on.
I have been hunted for twenty-one years. I have literally lived in the saddle. I have never known a day of perfect peace.
I've had the big ups and the big downs.
