More quotes by Mos Def
Don't look down, it's an impossible view Fly like an eagle whatever you do.
Mos Def
Fear not of men because men must die. Mind over matter and soul before flesh.
Mos Def
To me, the job of the artist is to provide a useful and intelligent vocabulary for the world to be able to articulate feelings they experience everyday, and otherwise wouldn't have the means to express in a meaningful and useful way.
Mos Def
I can't control what people think. I'm not trying to manipulate people's thoughts or sentiments. I write all the time. You have to experience life, make observations, and ask questions. It's machine-like how things are run now in hip-hop, and my ambitions are different.
Mos Def
I don't hate nobody. I hate certain conditions that are inflicted upon the people - and they're helpless with it.
Mos Def
All the things that are worth doing, take time.
Mos Def
African art is functional, it serves a purpose. It's not a dormant. It's not a means to collect the largest cheering section. It should be healing, a source a joy. Spreading positive vibrations.
Mos Def
Mos Def is a name that I built and cultivated over the years, it's a name that the streets taught me, a figure of speech that was given to me by the culture and by my environment, and I feel I've done quite a bit with that name. [But] it's time to expand and move on.
Mos Def
I'm an independent thinker. And I'm not the poster child for any movement. I'm trying to support whatever's right no matter where it is.
Mos Def
Live now for the promise of the Infinite
Mos Def
What I take from writers I like is their economy - the ability to use language to very effective ends.
Mos Def
And from the moment that I saw you, I knew you was trouble, But I disregarded detour signs, And did not stop til you was mine. I guess God was like, 'Aight, fine.' Careful what you wish for, cause you just might get it in heaps. Try to give it back, He be like, 'Nah, that's yours to keep.'
Mos Def
I thought everybody got into rock 'n' roll because they didn't want to follow instructions.
Mos Def
Why did one straw break the camel's back? Here's the secret: The million other straws underneath it.
Mos Def
What I take from writers I like is their economy - the ability to use language to very effective ends. The ability to have somebody read something and see it, or for somebody to paint an entire landscape of visual imagery with just sheets of words - that's magical.
Mos Def
I want to be necessary and do good works. I ain't here to waste nobody's time, because I don't want you to waste mine.
Mos Def
I know what it feels like to have the door slammed firmly in my face, so I'm cool with that.
Mos Def
There's just some dysfunctionalism with artists.
Mos Def
The new moon rode high in the crown of the metropolis. Shinin', like Who on top of this?
Mos Def
I've always loved music and I love the language, which is a huge reason why I'm part of theater.
