Lindsey Stirling QUOTES

1 " The only reason I am successful is because I have stayed true to myself. "

2 " You’ve got to have confidence in the very thing that makes you unique – then wait for the world to catch up "

― Lindsey Stirling

3 " It's so easy to find reasons for why I am excused to be unsatisfied with the moment. As people, we often look to the future saying I'll be happy when… I'll be happy when I graduate, I'll be happy when I am thin, I'll be happy when I get a car… and so on. But why postpone happiness. Why not find joy in the journey of life. We need to find joy in the simple, ordinary events that make up the everyday because that is what we get the most of. "

― Lindsey Stirling

4 " I don't claim to be the best musician. If being the best means I earn the right to look down on people and critique their accomplishments in defense of my own, I don't ever want to be. People can say what they want about my music being 'banal' and my skill level 'competent,' and it will hurt my feelings (because despite what some believe, I do still have them), but I won't let it determine my self-worth. "

5 " I am so much happier when I am doing the things that make me me, and that's living by my standards and doing the things I love, using my talents, however random they are, to share with other people. That's what makes me happy. "

― Lindsey Stirling

6 " We can ALWAYS make a difference to someone, no matter what role we play. "

― Lindsey Stirling

7 " You know, He's given us talents and gifts to share them, and that's part of the reason why I love what I do. [...] I think that when anybody is developing their talents and sharing it, I think you glow, I really think you do because you are representing the best side of yourself and the gifts that God's given you. And in that moment, I can almost feel the glow, I can see it. "

― Lindsey Stirling

8 " Maybe my best isn't as good as someone else's, but for a lot of people, my best is enough. Most importantly, for me it's enough. "

9 " I make art for the sake of art . . . and for my own selfish gratification, because I’m an artistic monster. "

― Lindsey Stirling , The Only Pirate at the Party

10 " If I break the glass, then I'll have to fly, There's no one to catch me if I take a dive. I'm scared of change, and the days stay the same, The world is spinning but only in gray "

― Lindsey Stirling

11 " What brings a real and lasting joy is our relationships with God, and our love for His other children He has put in our lives. It's people; friends and family that fulfil us. All else, fame, popularity, beauty, is so fleeting. "

― Lindsey Stirling

12 " Life is kind, and full of great moments, but I think the greatest moment of my life is always ahead of me. When I reach it, there will be another, greater moment to come. "

― Lindsey Stirling , The Only Pirate at the Party

13 " While my body might say, "I'm small and vulnerable," my hair warns, "DON'T MESS WITH ME. "

― Lindsey Stirling

14 " Everytime I go into the studio, before going into the studio, I say a prayer and I really ask God to give me inspiration. I ask Him to help me and be able to help the producer I am working with. "

― Lindsey Stirling

15 " Am I the best violinist in the world? No. Do I need to be the best to bring people joy? No. "

― Lindsey Stirling , The Only Pirate at the Party

16 " That’s the best part about being a kid. Nothing seems impossible until someone bigger and older tells you it is. I grew up in a lovely little world where nothing was too far out of reach if I wanted to work for it. I think I still live in that world. "

― Lindsey Stirling , The Only Pirate at the Party

17 " In the music industry I get a lot of public judgement. Any time the topic of my religion surfaces, there are always people who react negatively, telling me to leave my crazy beliefs out of it. The problem is, I can't. My beliefs are as much a part of my being as my music, or my family, or my obsession with earthy-tasting cereal. Luckily, after all the rejection I faced on my mission, I'm no longer afraid of negative reactions. I've already heard it all--- face-to-face. Hateful comments still hurt, but they don't hold the same weight they once did. Besides, say what you want, but I'm a short-haired angel. (Or at least I was to one man on a subway.) "

18 " I’ve never pushed a baby out myself, but I hear it’s comparable to doing squats over a pile of flaming swords. Even "

― Lindsey Stirling , The Only Pirate at the Party

19 " I think college is a lot like childbirth. I’ve never pushed a baby out myself, but I hear it’s comparable to doing squats over a pile of flaming swords. Even after that remarkable sensation, mothers all over the world go back for more. It's not that they don't remember the flaming swords; they just choose to focus on the more rewarding aspects of the experience. "

― Lindsey Stirling , The Only Pirate at the Party

20 " My evolution as a violinist has included many thrilling performances, and I still love what I do, but there are times when even I get burned out. When this happens, I go back to that moment ten years ago. I picture myself on the stage with my bow in the air. I feel my heart racing, I see the faces in the audience smiling, and I remember the moment I thought, "I have to make this my life. "
