I'm a living sunset, lightning in my bones.
Ben Harper
If you're gonna live, then live it up.
Ben Harper
It will make a weak man mighty. it will make a mighty man fall. It will fill your heart and hands or leave you with nothing at all. It's the eyes for the blind and legs for the lame. It is the love for hate and pride for shame. That's the power of the gospel.
Ben Harper
My head works in music, so there's always music there.
Ben Harper

Distance is temporary, but our love is permanent. This may be the last time I see you, but if you keep me in your heart, together we shall be eternal if you believe, we shall never part.
Ben Harper

Ben Harper
I really feel like the sky is the limit with the Innocent Criminals today.
Ben Harper
Don't be discouraged by writer's block. Writer's block just means you need to listen to other music.
Ben Harper
There's no room in my life for religion. Religion is separation and segregation of God. How can you segregate the Almighty?
Ben Harper
My main concern when travelling around the world is finding a place to skateboard!
Ben Harper
Now I love to feel that warm southern rain, Just to hear it fall is the sweetest sounding thing. And to see it fall on your simple country dress It's like heaven to me I must confess.
Ben Harper
As a songwriter, I don't rush. I may sit on lyrics for two years before the music hits.
Ben Harper
Sometimes I think to talk too much about music almost cheapens it
Ben Harper
Music is the last true voice of the human spirit. It can go beyond language, beyond age, and beyond color straight to the mind and heart of all people.
