Sometimes you surprise yourself with what you can handle, and if you come out the other end with some wisdom, then it’s not such a bad thing.
My mother always called me an ugly weed, so I never was aware of anything until I was older. Plain girls should have someone telling them they are beautiful. Sometimes this works miracles.

Sometimes things aren’t clear right away. That’s where you need to be patient and persevere and see where things lead.
Enthusiasm for a cause sometimes warps judgment.
I can’t remember my dreams more than a couple of seconds after I wake up. It’s frustrating because sometimes I dream that I’m watching a really good movie.
Sometimes being old is used as an insult, which is bizarre because, if you’re lucky, that’s literally going to happen to you. It’s a strange thing to gloat about: being born recently.

Sometimes, the hardest things are just the simple things. Basically, get out of your own head and just go play the game you know how to play.
I do have a childlike enthusiasm at times. I certainly enjoy life and get pleasure sometimes in childish things.

I think that when you get dressed in the morning, sometimes you’re really making a decision about your behavior for the day. Like if you put on flipflops, you’re saying: ‘Hope I don’t get chased today.’ ‘Be nice to people in sneakers.’
On the field, aggression can sometimes be a positive emotion. It boosts performance and can lift your game. But over the years, I have learnt that restrained aggression is a better animal. That way, you will conserve your energy and won’t spend yourself quickly.
I must have a prodigious quantity of mind; it takes me as much as a week sometimes to make it up.
No one ever doubts that I mean what I say. The problem is I sometimes say all that I mean.
I will get out there and train harder than anyone, five times a day sometimes. You have to be a special person to do that – like, special forces, military maybe.

Everything that happens is meant to be. It’s meant to happen like that. But sometimes you don’t know at the time that it’s meant to be disaster.
There’s something I love about how stark the contrast is between January and June in Sweden. In a way, I feel that time doesn’t exist in LA. Sometimes I don’t know if it’s February or April or October, because you’re always sitting outside on the same patio, and it’s 70 degrees.

Sometimes with pop music, you have to see it to love it. With soul music, it’s sparse. There’s nothing that’s pretentious or planned. It’s just so gutsy.
We should all feel confident in our intelligence. By the way, intelligence to me isn’t just being book-smart or having a college degree; it’s trusting your gut instincts, being intuitive, thinking outside the box, and sometimes just realizing that things need to change and being smart enough to change it.

Sometimes when you turn a hobby into a job, it becomes work.
Sometimes a woman’s looks or sensuality are too readily wrapped up in their power.

Unknown in Paris, I was lost in the great city, but the feeling of living there alone, taking care of myself without any aid, did not at all depress me. If sometimes I felt lonesome, my usual state of mind was one of calm and great moral satisfaction.
Sometimes you are lucky, sometimes you’re unlucky. It all weighs out at the end. That is my experience at least.
Sometimes it’s hard to be a woman giving all your love to just one man.
Beetles and butterflies are sometimes restricted to small areas. Each mountain in a range, and even the different zones of a mountain, may have its own peculiar species. But the house-fly seems to be everywhere. I wonder if any island in mid-ocean is flyless.
I tend to learn from mistakes that I’ve made. Even though it sucks to make bad choices, sometimes it’s good to fail.
Sometimes, it’s just easier to say yes to that extra snack or dessert, because frankly, it is exhausting to keep saying no. It’s exhausting to plead with our kids to eat just one more bite of vegetables.

Biology sometimes reveals its fundamental principles through what may seem at first to be arcane and bizarre.
Joni Mitchell’s someone who has tried to make sense of her own world, sometimes painfully, through song.
I am sometimes a fox and sometimes a lion. The whole secret of government lies in knowing when to be the one or the other.

There are times when I get really depressed, when I’m going through difficult times and when I want someone to hold my hand. Sometimes I’ll think, ‘Forget it. I want to be this way.’ I often feel that way. But when we started the Love Yourself World Tour, I stopped having those thoughts.
I think that every child grows up with the ideas that what we are given, is our society. Your education, and your mother and father, they tell you this is how it is, but then you hit adolescence and you think, ‘Is it? Why? Why is it like that?’ Sometimes that questioning leads to something more.
Monsters are real, and ghosts are real too. They live inside us, and sometimes, they win.

I used to hang out with grandfather all the time because he used to pick me up from school sometimes, or drive me to my mother’s, so I’d be with my grandfather a lot. I used to watch him write his sermons.
