Words to live by


Here I have gathered some phrases that I consider to have a very deep meaning and I feel that they represent me at, least in a certain extent.
For me, these are indeed words to live by, and surprisingly or not, many of them spring from the hearts and minds of Darren Hayes and Daniel Jones. Another reason to listen to these guys. They simply know what they are saying!
