Quotes

• "Been jaded, hated, who'll be around when the limelight's faded?  Been shut down, pushed out, made to smile when I wanted to frown.  Always taking a bow.  Always working the crowd.  Always breaking new ground.  Always playing the clown.  Who'll be sticking it out?  Who'll be staying around, when the lights go down?"
  -- Christina Aguilera

• "Sorry you can't define me, sorry I break the mold, sorry that I speak my mind, sorry don't do what I'm told, sorry if I don't fake it, sorry I come too real, I will never hide what I really feel."
  -- Christina Aguilera

• "Upon the brink of a wild stream, he stood and dreamt a mighty dream."
  -- Aleksandr Pushkin

• "Art is not a handicraft, it is the transmission of feeling the artist has experienced."
  -- Tolstoy

• "Everyone thinks of changing the World, but nobody thinks of changing himself."
  -- Tolstoy
