More quotes by Ben Harper
If I fall, I fall. I'll rise up like anybody else.
Ben Harper
It was a huge deal, a huge musical discovery that became life lessons learned. You can't return from having an experience like that. The Blind Boys are truly the deepest well of American musical heritage you can discover.

You're living life in real time, man, and we' ve got a good amount of work to do for each other. Hiding is not an option and you're going to step out and you're going to make mistakes.

Ben Harper
I've never made a record that didn't sound better than what was in my head - that's sort of my rule.
Ben Harper
It turns out that there is something more magnificent than nature. It's love.
Ben Harper
Every time feels like my first time. And I just find that the process of it feeds into one's own self-obsession.
Ben Harper
Genetics do play a role in how you consciously or subconsciously manifest your true self.
Ben Harper
I want to try to be who I am today, not who I was yesterday.
Ben Harper
When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone - it's possible. But creatively, it's more like painting: you can't just use the same colours in every painting. It's just not an option. You can't take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.
Ben Harper
