Taylor Swift Quotations | Page 6

Try things. Laugh a lot. Mess up. Apologize. Hug people. Take chances. Trust yourself. Lose things. Get over it.

Be yourself and the right people will love you.

Right now I'm just single, but I'm really looking forward to the day when I'm happily single.

It's not our job to make people like us if they don't.

People put you down because you're above them.

There is nothing wrong with avoiding people who hurt you.

I like shirts and sweaters that fall off the shoulder or plaid button-ups.

Style is such a personal thing; it's your way to be an individual.

I think doing something that's different, that's out of your comfort zone is important,

Some combinations of people are toxic, you know? You have to find the right one that isn't just going to explode into fiery ash and destruction.

In life, you learn lessons. And sometimes you learn them the hard way. Sometimes you learn them too late.

The trials and tribulations in your life make you stronger.

Love is unpredictable and it’s frustrating and it’s tragic and it’s beautiful.

My favorite thing in life is writing about life, specifically the parts of life concerning love. Because as far as I’m concerned, love is absolutely everything.

I’ve questioned everything about myself, every step of the way. You have to have the same amount of fear and self-doubt as you do hope and blind optimism.

Seeing a live Kenny Chesney show, you know what you're going to get. You know it's going to be an all-day party.

you don't know me, but i bet you want to.

The way you walk, way you talk, way you say my name; it's beautiful, wonderful, don't you ever change.

With your face and your beautiful eyes and the coversations with the little white lies and the faded picture of a beautiful lie you carry me from your car up the stairs,and I broke down crying was she worth this mess? After everything and that little black dress.After everything i must confess...I need you <3'':) -Taylor Swift

Now stand in the corner, and think about what you've done!

And I'm dying to know, is it killing you like it's killing me? And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now.

your hands are tough but there mine belong in

Cause for a moment a band of theives in ripped up jeans got to rule the world!

So don't you worry your pretty little mind because people throw rocks at things that shine. [Ours]

Give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around...

I don't let nobody see me wishin' he was mine

I could wait patiently, but I really wish you would: Drop everything now, meet me in the pourin' rain, Kiss me on the sidewalk, take away the pain; Cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile Hit me with those green eyes, baby, as the lights go down, Give me somethin' that'll haunt me when you're not around; Cause I see sparks fly whenever you . . . smile.

Throughout all of the changes that have happened in my life, one of the priorities I've had is to never change the way I write songs and the reasons I write songs. I write songs to help me understand life a little more. I write songs to get past things that cause me pain. And I write songs because sometimes life makes more sense to me when it's being sung in a chorus, and when I can write it in a verse.

You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter. You are the best thing that's ever been mine.

I've wanted one thing for me whole life and I'm not going to be that girl who wants one thing her whole life then gets it and complains.

I’ve learned that you can’t predict [love] or plan for it. For someone like me who is obsessed with organization and planning, I love the idea that love is the one exception to that. Love is the one wild card.

FEARLESS is getting back up and fighting for what you want over and over again....even though every time you've tried before you've lost.

It's hard to fight when the fight ain't fair.

You can walk away and say "We don't need this." but something in your eyes says "We can beat this.

But I miss screamin' and fightin' and kissin' in the rain and it's 2 a.m. and I'm cursin' your name. You're so in love the you act insane, and that's the way I loved you.

A few years have gone and come around when we were sittin' at our favorite spot in town and you looked at me, got down on one knee. Take me back to the time when we walked down the aisle; the whole town came and our mammas cried. And you said "I do.", and I did, too. Take me home where we met so many years before; we'll rock our babies on the very front porch. After all this time, you and I. And I'll be eighty-seven you'll be eighty-nine, I'll still look at you like the stars that shine. In the sky. Oh, my my my.

Turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you...

I write a lot of songs about love and I think that’s because to me love seems like this huge complicated thing. But it seems like every once in a while, two people get it figured out, two people get it right. And so I think the rest of us, we walk around daydreaming about what that might be like. To find that one great love, where all of a sudden everything that seemed to be so complicated, became simple. And everything that used to seem so wrong all of a sudden seemed right because you were with the person who made you feel fearless.

Just because as human beings, what we can't have is what we reply in our head over and over again before we go to sleep.

Life is like walking you take one step at a time.

i'm taking pictures in my mind so i can save them for a rainy day...

Remember we were sitting there by the water

But you held your pride like you should've held me

I'm only me when I'm with you.

It's alright, just wait and see, your string of lights is still bright to me. Who you are is not where you've been. You're still an innocent. It's okay life is a tough crowd, 32 is still growing up now.

I still love sparkles and grocery shopping and really old cats that are only nice to you half the time. I still love writing in my journal and wearing dresses all the time and staring at chandeliers.

Romeo save me, I've been feeling so alone. I keep waiting for you, but you never come. Is this in my head? I don't know what to think.

To me fearless isn't not having fears, it's not that you're not afraid of anything. I think that being fearless is having a lot of fears, but you jump anyway.

I'm shining like fireworks over your sad, empty town

she thinks I'm psycho cause I like to rhyme her name with things.

Here I was again tonight forcing laughter, faking smiles Same old tired, lonely place

She can't see the way your eyes will light up when you smile...

Why leave when you can stay, why stay if you have to go

Bring on all the pretenders!

and you come away with a great little story of a mess of a dreamer with the nerve to adore you

You'll always know more in the future than you know now.

Sophistication isn't what you wear or who you know, or pushing people down to get you where you want to go... soon your gonna find stealing other people toys on the playground won't make you many friends...

I'll bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks about, and she's got everything that I have to live without... He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar, the only one who's got enough of me to break my heart. He's the song in the car I keep singing; don't know why I do.

I think, as far as branching out with acting, it would take something really right on the mark to distract me from music, because music is everything to me.

I'm 5'11, so when I wear heels, it's definitely a really good view that I have. I'm, like, 6'2 when I wear heels, so I tend to wear cowboy boots a lot.

I'm not concerned with people seeing me in a certain way. Some people see me as a kid, some people see me as an adult. But I'm seriously not going to complain how anybody sees me, as long as they see me.

I've been on tour since I was 16, and I always do meet-and-greets before and after shows, so you kind of build these friendships with people. I have girls come up to me and tell me exactly what's going on in their love lives.

I've found that men I've dated who are in the same business can be really competitive. I've found a great group of girlfriends in the same business who aren't competitive, but a few times guys have started comparing careers and it has been... challenging.

I've never gotten thick skin. If you close yourself off and you get this protective armor, there is a price you pay with that - of not feeling. And feeling is important when you are a songwriter.

I've never thought about any kind of prejudice about women in country music because I never felt like it affected me. I was fortunate enough to come about in a time when I didn't feel that kind of energy at all, and it was always my theory that if you want to play in the same ballgame as the boys, you've got to work as hard as them.

I think, a lot of times when you meet someone, you feel like you need to appear like you're not interested in them so that they'll be more interested in you. But what happens when you start showing him that you actually like him? What's he gonna do then? Play the tape forward; how do you keep a guy like that? I don't want to sign up for that.

I think when people make a record with a goal in mind - like taking it to the next level or making them seem more mature - that gets in the way of writing great songs.

I love dresses, and I've definitely thought about designing them someday. I just want to make sure that I wait until the time is perfect and I can do it right.

I once went on the most grueling radio tour. Living in hotel rooms, sleeping in the backs of rental cars as my mom drove to three different cities in one day.

I think that the idea of having a different approach to every single one of my albums is so exciting to me. I never want to make the same record twice. Why do it? What's the point?

It doesn't bother me when people try to deconstruct my songs - because at least they're looking at the lyrics, and paying attention to the way the story is told.

It's human nature to not say everything that's on your mind at the time you think it. Because we fear saying something that people will laugh at, people will think is dumb. We're afraid of being embarrassed.

I write songs that are like diary entries. I have to do it in order to feel sane.

I don't live by all these rigid, weird rules that make me feel all fenced in. I just like the way that I feel like, and that makes me feel very free.

I don't believe in endorsing a product that you don't want to endorse.

There's an old poem by Neruda that I've always been captivated by, and one of the lines in it has stuck with me ever since the first time I read it. It says "love is so short, forgetting is so long." It's a line I've related to in my saddest moments, when I needed to know someone else had felt that exact same way. And when we're trying to move on, the moments we always go back to aren't the mundane ones. They are the moments you saw sparks that weren't really there, felt stars aligning without having any proof, saw your future before it happened, and then saw it slip away without any warning.

Sometimes in love it just gets to the point where I have to give up. I have to give up trying and I have to give up believing because I know things won't change. To me, giving up isn't being weak. Giving up is being strong enough to let go.

I've learned when to get out. I've never wasted too much time with the wrong person, and that's one thing I'm proud of. The longer you're with the wrong person, you could be completely overlooking or not having the chance to meet the right person. And if it doesn't feel right, it isn't right. How do you know if something feels right? I think the great defining factor for me is whether I want more. When they drive away, do I wish they would turn around at the end of the street and come back? Or am I fine that they're going home?

I don't think there's an option for me to fall in love slowly or at medium speed. I either do, or I don't.

I have been singing randomly, obsessively, obnoxiously for as long as I can remember.

I have this fear of falling in front of large groups of people. That's why I tend not to wear heels.

I didn't know what a stockbroker was when I was eight, but I would just tell everybody that's what I was going to be.

I love the scents of winter! For me, it's all about the feeling you get when you smell pumpkin spice, cinnamon, nutmeg, gingerbread and spruce.

I think I have to trust that you end up with the person you're supposed to end up with, and that everything in between is there to teach you stuff.

I think who you are in school really sticks with you.

I would like to do a duet with Taylor Hanson, because I have loved Hanson since I was 8.

In this business you have to develop a thick skin, but I'm always going to feel everything. It's my nature.

One of my big fears is people saying my songs are all starting to sound the same.

I'd like to think you don't stop being creative once you get happy.

Country radio is much more like a family than any other group of people that I've met.

I've always written songs the same way. You learn different tricks - you learn craft, you learn structure, all that - as you go.

When I'm 40 and nobody wants to see me in a sparkly dress anymore, I'll be like: 'Cool, I'll just go in the studio and write songs for kids.'

Vanity can apply to both insecurity and egotism.

I've had a few semi-toxic relationships, but it's not what I look for when I'm seeing someone.

I've always strived to be successful, not famous.

For me, great music doesn't just have to fall into one category or one genre and I love appreciating all kinds of music.

Factoring in millions of people when I'm writing a song is not a good idea. I don't ever do it.

I haven't had that one great love, which is good. I don't want that to be in the past - I want it to be in the future.

I believe when it comes to love, there's something intangible about who we are attracted to, and I don't think I have a pattern.

I'm not afraid to write my feelings in songs.
