More quotes by Michael Franti
If the first casualty of war is innocence, then perhaps with each bullet fired, bomb detonated, leader overthrown, wall built, economy destroyed and family member killed, we are not creating goodwill and harmony, but rather another child who believes violence is the only means to bring about change in the world.
Michael Franti
The personal revolution is far more difficult, and is the first step in any revolution.
Michael Franti
Life is too short to make just one decision, Music's too loud for just one station, Love is too big for just one nation, AND GOD IS TOO BIG FOR JUST ONE RELIGION...
Michael Franti
I feel alive when I feel ease of heart.
Michael Franti
Playing on the streets of Iraq, or in Israel or the Gaza strip, I'd sing angry protest songs against war. People would say, 'Make us clap, make us dance, and laugh and sing.' It really made me think about the importance of happy music.
Michael Franti
I think of love as an action. Finding something that's outside of yourself, to serve someone else's soul, helping to ignite someone else's spirit, to bring about ease of heart and joy, serenity in somebody else.
Michael Franti
Music is sunshine. Like sunshine, music is a powerful force that can instantly and almost chemically change your entire mood. Music gives us new energy and a stronger sense of purpose.
Michael Franti

Michael Franti
I went to Iraq because I wanted to see what one year of occupation had done to Iraqi society, and I went to the West Bank and Gaza Strip because I wanted to see what three generations of occupation had done to Palestinian society. I found a lot more hopelessness and despair in Palestine.

The more I see, the less I know.
Michael Franti
Be as radiant as the sun, as healing as the rain, as generous as a tree.
Michael Franti
My mother and father took me in and provided everything for me - the love, nurturing, basic necessities - to give me the space to grow wings, so that when I went out into the world, I could fly.
Michael Franti
Everyone deserves music.
Michael Franti
The U.S. has historically been the world's largest contributor to climate change.
Michael Franti
The most difficult part for me is feeling connected to the people that I love but always being on the go to different places.
Michael Franti
We can bomb the world to pieces, but we can't bomb it into peace.
Michael Franti
No life's worth more than any other, no sister worth less than any brother.
Michael Franti
Johnny Cash was a rebel, not only just in the musical sense, but he was somebody who was for the people, and an advocate for labor, for workers, for prisoners, people who have been trapped by the criminal justice system.
