More quotes by 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
When your whole world is shaken from all the risks we have taken, Dance with me, dance with me into the colors of the dusk.
Ben Harper
There's only one proper way a song should go, but you've got to be patient enough to let them come together time wise. Sometimes it's lightning in a bottle and you got the song. But oftentimes it shows up.
Ben Harper
I want to try to be who I am today, not who I was yesterday.
Ben Harper
The spirit is what guides my life, and I'm humbly on my knees in thanks for guidance and direction every day. But God is not something to be preached, it's something to be lived.
Ben Harper
To go through this life and see it through - what it really is - and not be insane or addicted, is a minor miracle for anyone.
Ben Harper
As long as someone else controls your history the truth shall remain just a mystery

My band is the best band in the world, period. So, I insist on every song being better than it is on the record. So by the end of the tour, we have to be playing the song better than how it's recorded.
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
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
We've changed our reflections, but inside we're just a child.
Ben Harper
I refuse to age disgracefully in rock 'n' roll.
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
Every single time I step into the studio, I say, 'Can I still do this? Do I still have it? Have I ever had it?' I suppose there's a good amount of self-loathing that goes into any form of artisanship.
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
I really feel there's no limitation on what this band can do in the studio or on the stage. That's an empowering feeling - that we can bring a song to life.
Ben Harper
It turns out that there is something more magnificent than nature. It's love.
Ben Harper
The very thing that drives you, can drive you insane Got a head full of thought crimes and a number with no name Got an eleventh hour Jesus and a mouth full of blame A casket lined with silver dollars and a number with no name.
Ben Harper
There's so much there, there's so much to heal for.
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
