Absolute Favorite Stevie Line....

[Jondalar]

This was close...

My vote goes to....

Love is a word that some entertain, If you find it, You have won the game.... Someone said Outside the Rain...


Okay, what is your favorite line?

[skuncles]

The motto I live by "Take on the situation and not the torment". I remind myself of this almost daily.

[Blueletter18]

The quote in my signature

[mitzo]

We come from different worlds but we are the same

[WildHearted]

Impossible to choose.

[louielouie2000]

I've always been partial to the line in The Nightmare where she says:

"somewhere in her ancient ways, she walks through the night..."

I really like the whole stanza, but that line is my favorite. Stevie is admitting she feels like she's out of place in the modern world, and instead belongs to an older, simpler time. Despite that, she's still making her way by holding on to that simplistic beauty. I've always hugely related to the sentiment.

My favorite:
"Just how deep do you hold that dream in your hands
each night."

Oh I have so many favorites! I usually just lurk but I have to join in for this one.


"I have no fear, I have only love." - I find myself thinking that all the time, whenever I'm anxious.

"So we make our choices, when there is no choice. And we listen to their voices, ignoring our own voice." - This was echoing through my head all through those miserable middle school years.

"How the faces of love have changed, turning the pages. And I have changed, oh but you, you remain ageless." - I sign every letter to my grandparents with this little line. I adore it. I also have this on my wall, in little letter stickers, until a big picture collage of me and my dad, who I lost when I was 5. So it has personal meaning for me.

"As you walk away you know that I will call. If it's just to say goodnight, and that is all. Well alright, that's a lie. She says she wanted you to stay. But you know much better than she. She's better off this way." - This kills me every time! It's just so raw.

"Take on the situation but not the torment, now you know its not as bad as it seems" - I know it's been said, but this line deserves so much appreciation. It's like my mantra.

"Someday when we're older, & my hair is silver gray. Unbraid with all of the love that you have, like a soft silver chain." - I think this is pretty much every little girl's dream of a love that lasts forever.

"All I ever wanted was to know that you were dreaming." - All of Sara. Enough said.

"I chose to dance across the stages of the world. Everyone said I'd never learn." - I just adore this. It's so Stevie. I was dying when she quoted it at the Borgata show I was at. and "Sometimes I think I was always on-call. Sometimes even I am allowed to fall." because I think it reflects Stevie's feelings on her life so well.

"Don't hide behind your hair, it's a bit of gold and braid." - I know this song was meant as a "get out of my business" thing to Lindsey, but I always interpreted it as being about confidence. And not hiding yourself from the world, and being insecure. It's something I always tell myself as a confidence booster.

" I bite my lip. Can you send me away? You touch, I have no choice. I have to stay." - I'm in love with pretty much all of Beautiful Child.

"Sunflowers and your face fascinate me. You go into the dusty pink day. I come calling unto you, but you run. You're the winner, long distance winner." - I adore this song and these lyrics. My friend Brian sent me flowers the other day, and he picked sunflowers and wrote "sunflowers and your face fascinate me" on the card, because he knows how much I love that line. and the lyrics to Races Are Run & Frozen Love deserve a mention too.

These two are obvious but "Don't blame it on me, blame it on my wild heart." and "Never have I been a blue calm sea, I have always been a storm." are just so relateable and pretty much exactly how I would describe myself, as well as Stevie.

And of course the lyrics to Landslide and Dreams are perfection. But they're quoted enough

"you CAN consume all the beauty in the room"

[StreetAngel86]

YES YES YES. that is my fave line in that song. but yes the whole song lol. scary how many of ur choices would be mine. but i tried to contain myself

[PolishStevieFan]

Too many to count but I've always loved "long nets of white cloud my memory"...it's very poetic and imaginative.

[Josh2003]

"To make you smile, I'd like to be there for you."

"I used to dream that you were an angel, and I was a starving child...and we were magic."

"My heart still stops when I stand before you."

"I still look up when you walk in the room."

[seekerj]

"And the guardian of your challenge does not cry..."

[Artemis]

"Thunder only happens when it's raining" will always be my favourite Stevie line, and my first (and probably only) tattoo.

Off the top of my head, I'm also partial to...

"Heartbreak of the moment is not endless" I wanted this as my tattoo originally, but my friend said it's "too emo"

"I decided yesterday that I would leave you. I'm alright"

"You say it will be harder in the morning / I wait for you to say, "just go" / your hands held mine so few hours / but I'm not a child anymore / I'm tall enough to reach for the stars / I'm old enough to love you from afar / too trusting yes, then women usually are" - just that whole verse from Beautiful Child. I had a period a few months back where I listened to this song on repeat cause it just summed up everything I was feeling at the time.

"My darling lives in a world that is not mine"

"Another lady, another time, another heartbroken state of mind"

"My first mistake was to smile at you"

"I hear there's trouble in Shangri-La"
