More quotes by RZA
I advise everyone to find an island in this life. Find a place where this culture can't take energy away from you, sap your will and originality. Since anything physical can be mental, that island can be your home. Turn off the electromagnetic waves being forced upon you, the countless invisible forces coming at you all the time.

Cats be talkin', Bobby I ain't feelin' ya. But I bet if I was peelin' your cap back with a two-shot Dillinger Hot lead released from my cylinder, You'd be talkin' 'bout, Bobby I'm feelin' ya!

Just bring love. Everybody keeps bringing violence, let's bring love.

I think you gotta have some humor [in your story]. People gotta have a moment to laugh and feel that it's not taken 100% serious. That's important.

You are a 64-track recording - the tracks are always there, they're always with you. Sometimes the harsh tracks are cranked up and the rest are rolled down to zero. Other times the sweet tracks are high and the darkness is low. But it's all you.
RZA
In today's society, the forces against you are heavy against you. The whole goal is to get knowledge of yourself, but people are so far from themselves that they don't believe themselves.
RZA
Inspiration is found everywhere if you look hard enough.
RZA
Sometimes brothers are in war with each other, but at the end love conquers all.
RZA
Do the knowledge, meaning: look, listen, observe, and also respect. If you do that, you'll have a strong foundation to build anything you want to do in life upon. Know before you do. Look before you leap. And if you want to follow in my footsteps, make sure you step in the ones that went in the right direction.
RZA
Complainin' to my lawyer how this rookie tried to frisk me... Jealous of my jeep, I gave his badge to the chief, And got his ass directin' traffic in the heat for a week.
RZA
This is a robbery, boy, gimme them dollars. We hit the lottery, boy, it's in ya wallets!
RZA
After knowledge comes wisdom. After wisdom comes understanding.
RZA
Once you've got an inspired spark, you've got to strive. You've gotta keep putting wood on it, so they say, to keep it burning. But then there's the alchemist side of it, that's the fire that's burning but it don't burn.
RZA
It's not good to argue with your woman about something, because women feel strong about it, they slap you in your face, you still go back to them.
RZA
When scoring a film, empathy is the key. And it is just as important to use music to express the actors' emotions as it is to move the audience.
RZA
If you live through defeat, you are not defeated. If you are beaten but acquire wisdom, you have won. Lose yourself to improve yourself. Only when we shed all self-definition do we find who we really are.
RZA
Every aspect of your personality, if you're wise, you're able to separate each one of them and put them to use at the best time for the best position.

When you are young money is not the same.
