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.

More quotes by 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
Most of my life wasn't about knowledge from books, but experiential knowledge.
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
The religious lifestyle keeps you focused. It's helpful when trying to manoeuvre through the music scene.
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.

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
My music is not really about one ideology. It's not about one truth.
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
The world that I come from is the world of raves, hip-hop clubs, and rock and roll.
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
Music has always been such an amazing tool for me to access self and emotion.
Matisyahu
Reggae music isn't Jewish, but a lot of the ideas are.
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
Everyone's right or wrong, Everyone's got an opinion, put them in a song and let me keep on living.
Matisyahu
I can show you where to dig, and what to dig for, but the digging you must do for yourself.
Matisyahu
The beauty of life is not knowing.
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 don't think you could pull one Bob Marley song that didn't have quotes from the Torah or the Old Testament.
Matisyahu
It's unbelievable to me how sure people can be of themselves.
