Halsey Quotes

“You were red,
and you liked me because I was blue,
but you touched me and suddenly I was a lilac sky,
and you decided purple just wasn't for you.”
― Halsey

“I'm a wanderess
I'm a one night stand
Don't belong to no city
Don't belong to no man
(Note: These lyrics were inspired by Roman Payne's quote from his novel "The Wanderess".)”

“I fucking hate it, the idea that something like that would be trivialized down to a fucking hashtag. I mean, there's a ton of biphobia — people refuse to accept bisexuality as an actual sexuality. And I'm biracial, but also white-passing, which is a unique perspective. So these kids say, like, "Oh, fucking tri-bi Halsey! She'll never miss an opportunity to talk about it!" I want to sit them down like a mom and go, "Six months ago you were begging for an artist that would talk about this shit! But then I do, and you say, 'Oh, not her. Someone else.”
― Ashley Frangipane

“I see all things in this world as more beautiful than I, and I spin the details of their atoms in every paragraph and brushstroke.”

“See, I've started taking down
All of my favorite
little sounds.
That waltz around you
in 3 quarter notes
With each word you pronounce”
― Halsey, I Would Leave Me If I Could: A Collection of Poetry

“Palmer saw Halsey first and rolled her eyes in exasperation. Halsey smiled and raised her prosthetic arm in greeting. It had been Palmer-acting on orders from ONI's commander-in-chief-who had made the shot during the unsuccessful assassination attempt. Halsey delighted in every available opportunity to remind the Spartan-IV of her failure.”
― Troy Denning (author), Halo: Shadows of Reach: A Master Chief Story

“Before John could say anything, she straightened herself and said, "The Spartans are my greatest achievement." Her eyes were moist. "Do you understand that?”
