More quotes by Ben Harper
As long as the songs are strong, I think you can express yourself in any style and have it be soulful and have it be your own voice.
Ben Harper
I want to try to not be the child that had to go through too much too young. I want to be who I am now and not who I was then.
Ben Harper
Life is short and if you're looking for extension, you had best do well. 'Cause there's good deeds and then there's good intentions. They are as far apart as Heaven and Hell.
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
It turns out that there is something more magnificent than nature. It's love.
Ben Harper

Ben Harper
My head works in music, so there's always music there.
Ben Harper
I'm more afraid of falling than I am of flying high. I'm not as scared of dying as I am of growing old. Every battle has its glory and its consequence.
Ben Harper
I'm a living sunset, lightning in my bones.
Ben Harper
I'm really looking forward to, not more of the same, but a continual growth.
Ben Harper
I get diminishing returns when I bore myself in an interview.
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
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
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
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
I can't not put myself in the shoes of every person I pass.
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
Sometimes I think to talk too much about music almost cheapens it
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
