Over the last couple of years, I've really worked toward balancing my life out more, having a little bit more time with friends, family and my boyfriend. There was a period of time when they were way down the list. It was all about music and touring and if everything fell by the wayside, so be it. Alanis Morissette
Tom Peters quote: "A passive approach to professional growth will leave you by..."
A passive approach to professional growth will leave you by the wayside. Tom Peters

Character actors are becoming a thing of the past. They're just going by the wayside. They're just cutting through that caliber of acting. Matthew Lillard
The art which we may call generally art of the wayside, as opposed to that which is the business of men's lives, is, in the best sense of the word, Grotesque. John Ruskin
Walter Benjamin quote: "Quotations in my work are like wayside robbers who leap out..."
Quotations in my work are like wayside robbers who leap out armed and relieve the stroller of his conviction. Walter Benjamin
You know, when you're making a record, you come up with 15, 20 songs. Then they start to fall by the wayside as your interest wanes. It's kind of like a process of elimination to determine which songs wind up on the record. David Johansen
