Another Ryan Adams quote:

"and my cup is not full because it is not a cup

it is a life

it is a heart

and me

I am trying to show you something

about yourself

not me

that a person can do anything

and

that is what hope is

so,

with all due respect,

**** you if you dismiss this

because it is process

and

I accept

if you discount what it has to say

but if I draw a line

and say

what have you done today

be prepared

because while you are sleeping

I am with the sunlight

and the life

and joy"

- excerpt from Joy in his book "Infinity Blues"

(I apologize for the profanity, Mr. Adam's is not always the most proper of a writer, but his words speak so much truth)
