Interpretation
The quote expresses a desire to focus on the present rather than being weighed down by the past or future.
Florence Welch's quote captures the essence of living in the moment. It suggests that one should not dwell on previous experiences or future uncertainties, but instead seek the beauty and significance of the present. This outlook emphasizes the importance of finding joy and meaning in fleeting moments of connection and happiness, which can often be overshadowed by the burdens of what has been and what is yet to come.

I love performing outside because it's as if the heavens are open and the elements become part of the stage show as well - you know, the wind and the rain and the thunder. It's almost as if there's a sense of invocation in performance.

My visual landscape as a child was the inside of a lot of these old churches. And the Baroque drama of the things was what I was first engaging with artwise.

Music is my way out. I keep things locked up and never say anything. I guess in order to say something to one person, I have to sing it to a couple of thousand. It doesn't make for healthy relationships.
The stage is a place where I can be wholly myself. Even though you're in front of people almost to be judged, it is a place without judgement.
When something really hits me, it makes me want to either jump off something really high or lie down and be buried. I want people to get hit and caught by my music.
However gross a man may be, the minute he expresses a strong and genuine affection, some inner secretion alters his features, animates his gestures, and colors his voice. The stupidest man will often, under the stress of passion, achieve heights of eloquence, in thought if not in language, and seem to move in some luminous sphere. Goriot's voice and gesture had at this moment the power of communication that characterizes the great actor. Are not our finer feelings the poems of the human will?
If equal affection cannot be, let the more loving be me.
No, no thought to the winnings. One loves because one loves.
It may take two people to make a really beautiful mistake.
Out of the darkness of my life, so much frustrated, I put before you the one great thing to love on earth: the Blessed Sacrament β¦ There you will find romance, glory, honour, fidelity, and the true way of all your loves upon earth.
