More quotes by Michael Franti
Every single soul is a poem.
Michael Franti
The U.S. has historically been the world's largest contributor to climate change.
Michael Franti
Don't fear the night time, Because the monsters know that you're divine. And don't fear the sunshine, Because everything is better in the summer time...
Michael Franti
Many kids in foster homes have a lot of emotions that are hard to get out. It's important to let them know they can make a difference in the community.
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
I want to promote positivity.
Michael Franti
There are so many things to be worried about, and I wanted to make a record that people could put on, and it would lift them up the way the sun did for me each day.
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
It's also hard for me to understand growing up not knowing where I came from. I searched for my parents - I started when I was twenty I found both my mother and my father when I was twenty-two. Trying to catch up on twenty-two years that we can never get back, trying to reconcile that - that's a hard thing for me.
Michael Franti
Love is the action of soul satisfaction.
Michael Franti
A lot of times we look at the whole world and think, 'it's so daunting, how can we change the whole world?' and you don't need to do that, what you need to do is change your world a little bit, and see if you can, through example, inspire others to do the same thing.
Michael Franti
The music industry has been hijacked by corporate interests, but the way music affects people and resonates with them hasn't changed.
Michael Franti
No life's worth more than any other, no sister worth less than any brother.
Michael Franti
I always know when a song is good or close to finished. When I sing it, it makes me feel the emotion. My tears will start flowing or I'll start laughing. I'll start feeling whatever intensity or emotion was the seed of that song.
Michael Franti
Collectively, we activists are essential to advancing U.S. policy to help empower marginalized people to lift themselves and their communities out of poverty for good.
Michael Franti
We can bomb the world to pieces, but we can't bomb it into peace.
Michael Franti
Power to the peaceful!
Michael Franti
During my travels in Iraq, Israel, Gaza, Brazil, Indonesia, Japan, Europe and all over the United States, I have seen and heard the voices of people who want change. They want the stabilization of the economy, education and healthcare for all, renewable energy and an environmental vision with an eye on generations to come.
Michael Franti
It ain't about who ya love, it's all about do ya love.
Michael Franti
The times when I feel not alive is when I feel stifled, when I feel like the emotion that's in me is not coming out. I'm too busy, too hectic. I'm serving my iPhone more than my spirit. Those are the times I feel bad.
