Which not peace for the man who is forced to go to war, for he will find his peace. But wish peace for the man who goes to war willingly, for he will never find his peace.
Miguel
There's just something really, really timeless about live instruments. There's just something special about them that you can't really duplicate or grasp without including live instruments.
Miguel
I can write hundreds of songs on simple power chords.

Miguel
I think what I bring to the table overall is a sense of my own individuality, especially in the urban-male spectrum of what is here and now.
Miguel

Miguel
All the best times in music were rebellious. I mean, even like Elvis, people didn't want their daughters paying attention to him. He was considered too sexual!
Miguel
There is no recollection which time does not put an end to, and no pain which death does not remove.
Miguel
Just as eunuchs will never know aesthetics as applied to the selection of beautiful women, so neither will pure rationalists ever know ethics, nor will they ever succeed in defining happiness, for happiness is a thing that is lived and felt, not a thing that is reasoned or defined.
Miguel
I want to be transparent, so I don't leave room for too much thinking.
Miguel
It doesn’t matter how much you love someone, you are never going to be what that person wants you to be.
Miguel
I think the goal is in general to broaden my fans' perspectives and their horizons. Not to be cliché. But to introduce them to things that they may not have introduced to themselves.
Miguel
The extremes of who I'd love to be onstage are David Bowie, Prince, and, I don't know, Bjork.
