Taylor Swift Quotations | Page 5

They're [haters] just building you up to knock you down. But for me, they haven't.

Fixing your heartbreak by getting into another relationship is not the way to live your life - you need to live it on your terms for a while.

Heartbreak is the national anthem. We sing it proudly.

Once you think about it, aren't the people who are living their lives without worrying about other people's opinions having more fun than those judging them?

People like you always want back the love they pushed aside. But people like me are gone forever when you say goodbye.

I know what it's like to pine away for that summer romance you just can't get back.

When you see something bad happening out in the world, you should try to help in whatever way you can.

It's so much easier to like people, and to let people in, to trust them until they prove that you should do otherwise. The alternative is being an iceberg.

I'm just glad we live in a world where girls can play soldiers.

I think I have a big fear of things spiraling out of control. Out of control and dangerous and reckless and thoughtless scares me, because people get hurt.

You can be obsessed with the bad things people say and the good things; either way, you're obsessed with yourself, and I'm not - you can become unhinged so easily.

You get to a point where it's like you can't really do anything right, and people will pick on you for whatever decisions you make, so I just try and take no notice and get on with my music.

'Love Story' I wrote on my bedroom floor in about 20 minutes.

I'm never in the same place for more than, like, three days at a time. Things can change from one minute to the next.

Sometimes I write about my own life. And sometimes I write about situations I see my friends going through. Sometimes I write about a scene I saw in a movie. I take inspiration from all different places.

I've never wanted to use my age as a gimmick, as something that would get me ahead of other people. I've wanted the music to do that.

I am getting to the point where the only love worth being in is the love worth singing about.

I'm Taylor, I'm 11 and I want a record deal.

Words, how little they mean when they are too late.

In school if you're different that's uncool. But I try to maintain confidence in who I am...because...you know...I don't really want to change it.

Spending a lot of time alone, gave me a lot of time to think. A lot of time to think gave me the time to write songs.

You can never forget the people who were always there for you from the beginning.

I always aspire to just be really nice to people. To be kind.

We were built to fall apart and fall back together.

Always consider giving someone the benefit of the doubt. Until he establishes that this is a game... And if it's a game, then you need to win.

I put out one album one week, and I'm already worried about the next one. I feel a lot of emotion throughout the course of a day. But not to the point where you need to be worried about me.

When I get on a roll with something, it's really hard for me to put it down unfinished.

Winter = baking season. It's on.

I don’t drink to get drunk. That’s just not cute.

You only get so many firsts, each one is a blessing.

You've got every right to a beautiful life

Through it all nobody gets me like you do.

Every day was a struggle. Forget making plans for life - we were just trying to make it to next week.

All I ever do is learn from my mistakes so I don't make the same ones again. Then I make new ones.

When I was 8 years old, it mattered what my favorite singer said and wore and expressed opinions about. And if I have a chance to matter to the growth and hopes and wishes of little girls, that's something I can't take lightly. So I do factor them in when I'm thinking about what to wear, and what to say, and whether or not to go out to bars even thought I'm not twenty-one.

I keep one eye on the path I didn't choose every day.

It is possible for a woman to be a romantic, but also to be single and to be happy.

When I was a teenager, my biggest lessons came from Kenny Chesney, Tim McGraw, George Strait, Rascal Flatts and Brad Paisley. I learned so much from opening up for those artists, and it also taught me how to treat your opening acts and make them feel like they're part of a family, not just a tour.

I think that when you're making your way up in the music industry, you have all these heroes and the reasons why they are your heroes. As soon as you get into the industry, your guidelines change a little bit. For me, my heroes now are great people first and great artists second.

I get nervous for everything - literally everything.

I didn't always have 14,000 people wanting to hang out with me on a Saturday night.

I don't have big security guards. I don't have an entourage.

There are no rules when it comes to love, I just try to let love surprise me because you never know who you're going to fall in love with.

When we fall in love and we have a first kiss with someone, we never ever imagine that someday that could be a last kiss.

We leave a piece of ourselves and our magic in a person that we fall in love with.

I just want to spend the rest of my life with someone who makes me smile, laugh, feel special, and supports me.

Most of us fear reaching the end of our life regretting moments when we didn't speak up, say I love you, or say I'm sorry.

Don't find love, let it find you. It's called falling in love because you don't force yourself to fall, you just do.

Never regret your past. You have to move on and learn from it.

Be friends first when you're dating. If it turns into something more, that's awesome, and if not you have another friend.

All those emotions spanning from intense love, intense frustration, intense jealously, all those feelings are red.

I've come to a wonderful realization that is fascinating: I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to love. No one does!

Walking through a crowd, the village is aglow. Kaleidoscope of loud heartbeats, under coats. Everybody here wanted something more. Searching for a sound we hadn't heard before. And it said, 'Welcome to New York,' It's been waiting for you. It's a new soundtrack, I could dance to this beat forevermore. The lights are so bright, but they never blind me.

I do not need some guy around in order to get inspiration, in order to make a great record, in order to live my life, in order to feel okay about myself. And I wanted to show my fans the same thing.

Well, you stood there with me in the doorway, my hands shake, I'm not usually this way. But you pull me in and I'm a little more brave. It's the first kiss, it's flawless, really something, it's fearless.

People throw rocks at things that shine.

Your eyes wider than distance, this life is sweeter than fiction.

Forgetting someone is like getting over a hundred addictions everyday.

Who you are is not where you've been... You're still an innocent.

I think the words you stop yourself from saying are the ones that will haunt you the longest.

The past is the past. Don't let it kill you.

I need that unexplainable spark. I need to see someone and feel 'oh-oh'. It's only happened a few times in my life.

Make the most of now before it all changes because one day right now is going to be a memory.

I think I’ve developed this pattern of running away when it comes time to fall in love and stay in a relationship.

The things that make me cry are when the people I love have gone through pain and I’ve seen it.

Real life is a funny thing, you know. In real life saying the right thing at the right time is beyond crucial.

I want to write a song for someone who has just fallen in love or someone single and living their live.

I daydreamed that when you grow up there are more bullies and how wonderful that would be if it were true, but, it's not.

Sometimes when relationships end, you write an e-mail and say everything you wish you said. Sometimes you don't push send.

So there are different examples of fairy tales, and sometimes I believe in them and sometimes I don't.

I tend to think things are love and then look back and reevaluate.

You can spend so much time wanting someone and they can have absolutely no idea.

You pay for good days by then having bad days. You pay for joy with pain.

There are beautiful things about both being in love and being out of love. I just think you have to find those things.

Love tends to end in a very painful goodbye.

Sometimes in life you have to be your own best friend.

We don't wish for the easy stuff. We wish for big things. Things that are ambitious, out of reach.

You learn lessons. A lot of them the hard way.

Appreciate what you have while you have it and the beauty in what’s there right now and try to preserve it for tomorrow.

I could make the bad guys good for a weekend.

Listening to my songs is like reading my diary.

I don’t think I was born to be in the club. Just to throw that out there.

Got a long list of ex-lovers, they'll tell you I'm insane. But I got a blank space baby, and I'll write your name.

One thing I've tried to never do is make wish lists. I try to have a very steppingstone mentality about this whole thing, where as soon as you make one step you visualize the next step, not five steps ahead.

The Moment I Knew” ”was a song about my 21st birthday party, which was the worst experience ever,

And you know there’s nothing like writing a song about someone who’s mean to you, and just makes your life miserable…and then winning a Grammy for it.

I love conversations with kids in the meet and greet lines — little people with little voices! I love babies. Someday I would love to be a parent, but I want that time to come when I’ve experienced so much of the world. My life will be devoted to making that child’s life as wonderful, beautiful, magical and perfect as it can possibly be. I want to wait until there is no ounce of me left that has anything self-centered to experience.

Middle school was what programmed me to be semi-insecure, like, all of the time. I didn’t fit in….I’d stand on the outside of the circle but I was never really in. That’s when I started to realize there’s this thing called rejection.

They can say whatever they want about my personal life because I know what my personal life is, and it involves a lot of TV and cats and girlfriends.

The thing about life is, every time you learn a lesson, another is waiting right at the corner. You never know everything.

Be careful with what you say. A girl remembers everything.

Wondering why we bother with love, if it never lasts.

You and I both know there's got to be some greater storyline for you than 'girl gets heart broken, was sad forever'. I think a nice one would be 'girl gets heart broken, was sad for a while but in her heartbreak she found freedom, friends, and the ability to look back and laugh at all she'd learned. She now lives her life on her own terms and still has fantastic hair.'

There's no regimen. There's no personal trainer. I love to go hiking because it's an experience. If I need to gain stamina for a tour, I will run every single night on the treadmill, but I don't necessarily like being at the gym.

You should vote for Neoprene Byzantine in the Hot Hundred, they're really sweet guys and that Moscow song is just wow! Hurry guys voting closes really soon mwah!

When we're falling in love or out of it, that's when we most need a song that says how we feel. Yeah, I write a lot of songs about boys. And I'm very happy to do that.

Every one of my regrets has produced a song I'm proud of.

I’m always going to be a hopeless romantic. Always.

I’d rather be at home and eat ice cream than go out and get wasted.

Every time i try and wink at someone, I mess it up and end up scaring people.
