Jesus left a long time ago, said he would return. He left us a book to believe in, in it we've got an awful lot to learn.
Marvin Gaye
Image
I've never had any problems with women. Having been one of the world's greatest womanizers they've probably had more problems with me.
Marvin Gaye
Image
I'd been studying the microphone for a dozen years, and I suddenly saw what I'd been doing wrong. I'd been singing too loud. One night I was listening to a record by Lester Young, the horn player, and it came to me. Relax, just relax. It's all going to be all right.

LIVE for LIFE, but let live everybody

Let's save all the children, save the babies, save the babies.

I don't make records for pleasure. I did when I was a younger artist, but I don't today. I record so that I can feed people what they need, what they feel. Hopefully, I record so that I can help someone overcome a bad time

Sexual healing is good for me.

Image
I hope to refine music, study it, try to find some area that I can unlock. I don't quite know how to explain it but it's there. These can't be the only notes in the world, there's got to be other notes some place, in some dimension, between the cracks on the piano keys.

For me, love carries the seeds of its own destruction.
Marvin Gaye

To be an artist is a blessing and a privilege. Artists must never betray their true hearts. Artists must look beneath the surface and show that there is more to this world than what meets the eye.
Marvin Gaye
Image
An artist, if he is truly an artist, is only interested in one thing and that is to wake up the minds of men, to have mankind and womankind realize that there is something greater than what we see on the surface.
Marvin Gaye
Image
I'm hooked my friend to the boy who makes slaves out of men, and oh believe me, flying high in a friendly sky.

Don't play with something you should cherish for life.
Marvin Gaye

Ain't no mountain high enough, ain't no valley low enough, ain't no river wide enough, to keep me from getting to you.
Marvin Gaye
Image
Are thing really gettin' better like the newspaper said/What else is new my friend, besides what I read/Can't find no work, can't find no job my friend/Money is tighter than it's ever been/Say man, I just don't understand/What's going on across this land
Marvin Gaye
Image
To share is precious, pure and fair. Don't play with something you should cherish for life. Don't you wanna care, ain't it lonely out there?

Negotiating means getting the best of your opponent.
