More quotes by Ben Harper
A candle throws its light into the darkness, in a nasty world so shines a good deed. Make sure the fortune that you seek is the fortune that you need.
Ben Harper
I write songs and I sing them from the deepest part of my existence and I hope they connect with the deepest part of yours.
Ben Harper
It turns out that there is something more magnificent than nature. It's love.
Ben Harper
Don't be discouraged by writer's block. Writer's block just means you need to listen to other music.
Ben Harper
Sometimes I feel I know strangers Better than I know my friends Why must a beginning Be the means to an end? The stones from my enemies These wounds will mend But I cannot survive The roses from my friends.

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.
Ben Harper
If you're gonna live, then live it up. If you're gonna give, then give it up. If you're gonna walk the Earth, then walk it proud. If you're gonna say the word, you got to say it loud.
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.
Ben Harper
I really feel like the sky is the limit with the Innocent Criminals today.
Ben Harper
You can't just say 'I love you,' you have to live 'I love you.'
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
