More quotes by Matisyahu
The religious lifestyle keeps you focused. It's helpful when trying to manoeuvre through the music scene.
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
Most of my life wasn't about knowledge from books, but experiential knowledge.
Matisyahu
What blows me away most is how sure people are 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
Everyone's right or wrong, Everyone's got an opinion, put them in a song and let me keep on living.
Matisyahu
At a certain point, I felt the need to submit to a higher level of religiosity to move away from my intuition and to accept an ultimate truth. I felt that in order to become a good person, I needed rules - lots of them - or else I would somehow fall apart. I am reclaiming myself. Trusting my goodness and my divine mission.
Matisyahu
The beauty of life is not knowing.
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
I don't think you could pull one Bob Marley song that didn't have quotes from the Torah or the Old Testament.
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
My life is not separate from my music, you know? It's not like a day job that I leave and go home. It's who I am as a person and how I am trying to grow, come closer to God, be a better person.
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 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
There are a lot of people who get me. There are a lot of people who don't. I wouldn't say there is one thing that everyone is missing. But there are a good amount[b] of people who don't necessarily understand the recent changes I have made.
Matisyahu
It's unbelievable to me how sure people can be of themselves.
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.
Matisyahu
I can show you where to dig, and what to dig for, but the digging you must do for 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
