Bob Marley Quotes

Posted by Ayu at 4:10 AM

Robert "Bob" Marley was lead singer and guitarist for the ska and reggae bands The Wailers and Bob Marley & The Wailers. Marley's music was highly influential, not only in the world of reggae which he largely defined, but also introducing the Rastafarian movement to a worldwide audience. Many of his songs featured the struggles of the powerless and the poor, as well as preaching Rastafarian themes such as brotherhood and peace for all mankind. His songs, including I Shot the Sheriff, No Woman, No Cry and Redemption Song, rocketed up the charts. Following his death in 1981, Marley's posthumously released album, Legend, became reggae's best-selling album of all time, selling 20 million copies worldwide.

Bob Marley Quotes

Date of Birth: February 06, 1945
Date of Death: May 11, 1981

* One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.
* The truth is, everyone is going to hurt you. You just got to find the ones worth suffering for.
* Bob Marley isn't my name. I don't even know my name yet.
* Every time I plant a seed, He say kill it before it grow, he say kill it before they grow.
* Your worst enemy could be your best friend, and your best friend your worst enemy.
* Don't worry about a thing, every little thing is gonna be alright.
* Life is one big road with lots of signs. So when you riding through the ruts, don't complicate your mind. Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy. Don't bury your thoughts, put your vision to reality . Wake Up and Live!
* Herb is the healing of a nation, alcohol is the destruction.
* Some people feel the rain. Others just get wet.
* He’s not perfect. You aren’t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn’t going to quote poetry, he’s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don’t hurt him, don’t change him, and don’t expect for more than he can give. Don’t analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he’s not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don’t exist, but there’s always one guy that is perfect for you.
* The winds that sometimes take something we love, are the same that bring us something we learn to love. Therefore we should not cry about something that was taken from us, but, yes, love what we have been given. Because what is really ours is never gone forever.

"Who are you to judge the life I live? I know I'm not perfect and I don't live to be. But, before you start pointing fingers, make sure your hands are clean."

The Beatles Quotes

Posted by Ayu at 2:29 AM

"I need to laugh and when the sun is out
I've got something I can laugh about."

To every word of love I heard you whisper, the raindrops seem to play a sweet refrain

I'm happy with my lifestyle, ... I don't have time to reflect on [it].

The love you take is equal to the love you make

For I don't care too much for money,
For money can't buy me love.

The Beatles Quotes

All the lonely people, where do they all come from?
All the lonely people, where do they all belong?

Yesterday our troubles seemed so far away, I believe in yesterday.

But tomorrow may rain, so I'll follow the sun

Life goes on within you and without you

Please don't wake me, no don't shake me, leave me where I am, I'm only sleeping.

I'll buy you a diamond ring, my friend If it makes you feel alright

"I'm not the creative one. I
know that. If Rory Storm
hadn't come along... and
then The Beatles... I would
have continued running
around in teddyboy gangs.
Today, well... I'd probably
be a laborer. I'm glad I'm
not, of course. It'll be
nice to be part of
history... some sort of
history anyway. What I'd
like to be is in school
history books and be read by
kids."

George Harrison Quote

would take LSD. There
wouldn't be any more war or
poverty or famine."

John Lennon Quote
"My role in society, or any
artist's or poet's role, is

on.”

something stupid.

John Lennon Quote
"If art were to redeem man,

emotions in the end. "

truly live a life in music
are telling the world, You

the goodness, because it's
the very best, and it's the
part I give”

Paul McCartney Quote

walls everyone would be a

the band."

there won't be a Beatles
reunion as long as John
