More quotes by Ben Harper
My head works in music, so there's always music there.
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.

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
Don't let what you have to heal from blind you to how much there is to heal for.
Ben Harper
There's something in everyone only they know.
Ben Harper
There's so much there, there's so much to heal for.

The music is in the lead here, and a large part of this, I have no idea what I'm doing. I feel a closer bond with the craft of songwriting, stronger than I ever have.
Ben Harper
When you have everything, you have everything to lose.
