More quotes by Matisyahu
My music is not really about one ideology. It's not about one truth.
Matisyahu
Everyone's right or wrong, Everyone's got an opinion, put them in a song and let me keep on living.
Matisyahu
I think there is a tendency for people to get rigid and caught up in their beliefs of what is right and wrong, and they lose sight of humanity. Being human has to come first before right or wrong.
Matisyahu
I don't think you could pull one Bob Marley song that didn't have quotes from the Torah or the Old Testament.
Matisyahu
The beauty of life is not knowing.
Matisyahu
Some artists are bound to an image: Bob Marley has dreadlocks, Matisyahu has a beard. But that's a reminder that the whole thing is not about style. It's about music.
Matisyahu
I can show you where to dig, and what to dig for, but the digging you must do for yourself.
Matisyahu
The world that I come from is the world of raves, hip-hop clubs, and rock and roll.
Matisyahu
We know nothing. And just because you know something to be true at this moment in your life or you feel that it is true, you can never be sure of yourself.
Matisyahu
You're looking for help from God, you say he couldn't be found. Looking up to the sky and searchin' beneath the ground.
Matisyahu
When there's light shining on a tree, that tree takes on different meaning. If there's no light at all it just looks dead. If you look at light as godly meaning, the world comes alive in a certain way.
Matisyahu
It's unbelievable to me how sure people can be of themselves.
Matisyahu
The idea that God's mercy is connected to whether or not I shave is ludicrous and I need to just trust myself, and that, you know, if I'm deserving of God's mercy, I'll get it, regardless of, you know, my beard.
Matisyahu
We're so quick to go to make things black and white, and to put things in their box. But everything is this mixture - and that's what this world is - is this blend of different things.
Matisyahu
I am reclaiming myself. Trusting my goodness and my divine mission.
Matisyahu
Is it possible Hanukkah doesn't inspire folksy songs? Plot lines may be a part. The Christmas story has a lot of material to work with. There's Jesus and his birth, the wise men, their gifts and tons of frankincense.
Matisyahu
The religious lifestyle keeps you focused. It's helpful when trying to manoeuvre through the music scene.
Matisyahu
Before I was 14, I wanted to be a singer, an actor, or a hockey player. By 15, I knew I was going to be a singer.
Matisyahu
Music has always been such an amazing tool for me to access self and emotion.
Matisyahu
People get so caught up in needing to know and having to prove themselves to be right, and I'm blown away by this.
