I read the New Testament, specifically the gospels and I was struck at their divinity, feeling that humans could not have figured this out on their own. We're just not bright enough.

More quotes by Moby
Growing up in Connecticut, all the Colonial houses looked alike. In Los Angeles, the diversity is so extreme, it's baffling.
Moby
By being vulnerable, either with yourself or in the presence of another person, that’s where all growth and ultimate well-being comes from.
Moby
My goal with everything that I do is to present things in a way that I would want to see if I was in the audience or buying the record.
Moby
I stopped drinking and realised New York still has a lot of charm, but it has become so bourgeois and affluent - and I can't really complain because I'm sort of bourgeois and affluent myself, but I like living in a place where artists and musicians and writers can actually pay the rent.
Moby
The average life expectancy of a celebrity is 20 years less than someone working in a coal mine.
Moby
I'll look through 'Us Weekly' and I'll see a picture of Brad Pitt and Jennifer Anniston. And I'm like, 'Wow, they just... they look so good. Even if they're like just wearing jeans and a t-shirt, they still look great.'
Moby
Basically we should stop doing those things that are destructive to the environment, other creatures, and ourselves and figure out new ways of existing.
Moby
I was raised with this idea that we're supposed to be tolerant of other people's opinions, but then what happens if other people's opinions are racist and hateful and wrong?
Moby
I don't have children, but I imagine if parents are really pushed on the subject, they probably have favorite children.
Moby
So in 1987 I gave up all animal products and became a vegan. Simply so that I could eat and live in accordance with my beliefs that animals have their own lives, that they're entitled to their own lives and that contributing to animal suffering is something that I don't want to be a part of.
Moby
If I was a sex symbol, I would be getting laid a lot more than I am now.
Moby
I'm perfectly happy for my videos to be on YouTube, whether I'm getting paid for them or not. If they're on YouTube, people will see them. If for some reason my videos get taken down from YouTube, well, I apologize. If it was up to me they'd all be up there and they'd all be free.
Moby
Once the pathological low self-esteem goes, that's when things go downhill.
Moby
There's really no reason for any musician, writer, actor to ever take themselves seriously. If you work in a needle exchange, take yourself seriously. You're doing good work. If you're involved in hostage negotiations and saving lives, you can have a sense of entitlement.
Moby
I saw people around me who were falling deeper and deeper into alcoholism and substance abuse. It's seductive because alcohol is amazing and drugs are amazing, they work so well.
Moby
I think there are two types of photographers, those who want to document the world and those who want to create their own world. I am more interested in documenting the world and presenting it to people with the question attached, 'Does this make any sense to you?'
Moby
I've never seen Friends I've never seen Seinfeld. I've heard people reference these things but I've never seen them.
Moby
If we base our belief systems on the humble assumption that the complexities of the world are ontologically beyond our understanding, then maybe our belief systems will make more sense and end up causing less suffering.
Moby
What sounds good on the radio is really loud kick drums and loud snare drums, when everything's bombastic and in your face. It's the equivalent of a houseguest who screams all the time.
Moby
When public figures think they can open a business even though they've got no business experience, it's a bad idea.
