" "
For a long time, I didn't understand the idea of not being able to appeal to a human heart. And then Marianne Williamson (if I can dare drop her name)... we were doing a Q&A on stage, and there was a question about evil, and my quick, sort of spiritual response was (and I actually stand by it in some senses)... was that human beings are... maybe we're traumatised, maybe we're disconnected, and our behavior, ideally, would be separate from the truth of who we essentially are.

Additional quotes by Alanis Morissette

So now it's your, your religion against my, my religion
My humble opinion against yours
This does not feel like love
It's you, your conviction against my, my conviction
And I'd like to know what we'd see
Through the lens of love
Love, love, love.

My tendency to want to do away feels natural and
My urgency to dream of softer places feels understandable,
But I know The only way out is through,
The faster we're in, the better.
The only way out is through ultimately.

'Cause the joke that you made in the bed that was me
And I'm not gonna fade as soon as you close your eyes.
And you know it.
And every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back
I hope you feel it.
Well, can you feel it?
