Quotes by Taylor Swift

To me, Fearless is not the absense of fear. Its not being completely unafraid. To me, Fearless is having fears. Fearless is having doubts. Lots of them. To me, Fearless is living in spite of those things that scare you to death.

To me, “FEARLESS” is not the absence of fear. It’s not being completely unafraid. To me, FEARLESS is having fears. FEARLESS is having doubts. Lots of them. To me, FEARLESS is living in spite of those things that scare you to death. FEARLESS is falling madly in love again, even though you’ve been hurt before. FEARLESS is walking into your freshmen year of high school at fifteen. 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 FEARLESS to have faith that someday things will change. FEARLESS is having the courage to say goodbye to someone who only hurts you, even if you can’t breathe without them. I think it’s FEARLESS to fall for your best friend, even though he’s in love with someone else. And when someone apologizes to you enough times for things they’ll never stop doing, I think it’s FEARLESS to stop believing them. It’s FEARLESS to say “you’re NOT sorry”, and walk away. I think loving someone despite what people think is FEARLESS. I think allowing yourself to cry on the bathroom floor is FEARLESS. Letting go is FEARLESS. Then, moving on and being alright…That’sFEARLESS too. But no matter what love throws at you, you have to believe in it. You have to believe in love stories and prince charmings and happily ever after. That’s why I write these songs. Because I think love is FEARLESS.

youre an expert at sorry and keeping the lines blurry

So dont you worry your pretty little mind because people throw rocks at things that shine. [Ours]

The way you walk, way you talk, way you say my name; its beautiful, wonderful, dont you ever change.

I dont let nobody see me wishin he was mine

And Im dying to know, is it killing you like its killing me? And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now.

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.

I havent had that one great love, which is good. I dont want that to be in the past, I want it to be in the future.

But no matter what love throws at you, you have to believe in it. You have ot believe in love stories and prince charmings and happily ever after. Thats why I write these songs. Because I think love is FEARLESS.

But I miss screamin and fightin and kissin in the rain and its 2 a.m. and Im cursin your name. Youre so in love the you act insane, and thats the way I loved you.

We should love, not fall in love, because everything that falls, gets broken.

think when its all over it just comes back in flashes, you know? Its like a kaleidoscope of memories; it just all comes back. But he never does. I think part of me knew the second I saw him that this would happen. Its not really anything he said, or anything he did ― it was the feeling that came along with it. Crazy thing is, I dont know if Im ever going to feel that way again. But I dont know if I should. I knew his world moved too fast and burned too bright, but I just thought, How can the devil be pulling you toward someone who looks so much like an angel when he smiles at you? Maybe he knew that when he saw me. I guess I just lost my balance. I think that the worst part of it all wasnt losing him. It was losing me.

This album is called FEARLESS, and I guess Id like to clarify why we chose that as the title. To me, FEARLESS is not the absence of fear. Its not being completely unafraid. To me, FEARLESS is having fears. FEARLESS is having doubts. Lots of them. To me, FEARLESS is living in spite of those things that scare you to death. FEARLESS is falling madly in love again, even though youve been hurt before. FEARLESS is walking into your freshmen year of high school at fifteen. FEARLESS is getting back up and fighting for what you want over and over again … even though every time youve tried before, youve lost. Its FEARLESS to have that someday things will change. FEARLESS is having the courage to say goodbye to someone who only hurts you, even if you cant breathe without them. I think its FEARLESS to fall for your best friend, even though hes in love with someone else. And when someone apologizes to you enough times for things theyll never stop doing, I think its FEARLESS to top believing them. Its FEARLESS to say, youre NOT sorry, and walk away. I think loving someone despite what people think is FEARLESS. I think allowing yourself to cry on the bathroom floor is FEARLESS. Letting go is FEARLESS. Then, moving on and being alright … Thats FEARLESS too. But no matter what love throws at you, you have to believe in it. You have to believe in love stories and prince charmings and happily ever after. Thats why I write these songs. Because I think love is FEARLESS.

Ive apparently been the victim of growing up, which apparently happens to all of us at one point or another. Its been going on for quite some time now, without me knowing it. Ive found that growing up can mean a lot of things. For me, it doesnt mean I should become somebody completely new and stop loving the things I used to love. It means Ive just added more things to my list. Like for example, Im still beyond obsessed with the winter season and I still start putting up strings of lights in September. 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. But some new things Ive fallen in love with -- mismatched everything. Mismatched chairs, mismatched colors, mismatched personalities. I love spraying perfumes I used to wear when I was in high school. It brings me back to the days of trying to get a close parking spot at school, trying to get noticed by soccer players, and trying to figure out how to avoid doing or saying anything uncool, and wishing every minute of every day that one day maybe Id get a chance to win a Grammy. Or something crazy and out of reach like that. ;) I love old buildings with the paint chipping off the walls and my dads stories about college. I love the freedom of living alone, but I also love things that make me feel seven again. Back then naivety was the norm and skepticism was a foreign language, and I just think every once in a while you need fries and a chocolate milkshake and your mom. I love picking up a cookbook and closing my eyes and opening it to a random page, then attempting to make that recipe. Ive loved my fans from the very first day, but theyve said things and done things recently that make me feel like theyre my friends -- more now than ever before. Ill never go a day without thinking about our memories together.

Its alright, just wait and see, your string of lights is still bright to me. Who you are is not where youve been. Youre still an innocent. Its okay life is a tough crowd, 32 is still growing up now.

When I was a little girl I used to read fairy tales. In fairy tales you meet Prince Charming and hes everything you ever wanted. In fairy tales the bad guy is very easy to spot. The bad guy is always wearing a black cape so you always know who he is. Then you grow up and you realize that Prince Charming is not as easy to find as you thought. You realize the bad guy is not wearing a black cape and hes not easy to spot; hes really funny, and he makes you laugh, and he has perfect hair.

I never want to change so much that people cant recognize me.

Just be yourself, there is no one better.

Theres more to life than dating the boy on the football team.
