There's so much there, there's so much to heal for.
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.

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.

I knew a girl, her name was Truth. She was a terrible liar.
Ben Harper
Image
You can't just say 'I love you,' you have to live 'I love you.'
Ben Harper
Image
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
Image
There's no love like a lost love and no pain like a broken heart.
Ben Harper
Image
I'm really looking forward to, not more of the same, but a continual growth.
Ben Harper
Image
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
Image
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.

If interviews are just interviews or if music is just music, why are we even doing it? You only get so many hours in a lifetime, man.
