The political system is not for the people. The people are secondary to the economy. It's about what generates money, not about what benefits the people.

More quotes by Ziggy Marley
Love is more than one thing.
Ziggy Marley
A record is a message, timeless.
Ziggy Marley
I come to sing for the people, not for the government. God made the sunshine for everyone and made the moon for everyone. We have to follow his example so we have to play music for everyone too. We have a message, and in order for our message to reach the people, we have to play.
Ziggy Marley
Screaming, it's not me. I tried it before! Action is more my thing. Not talking. It's hard for me to have word fights, fighting with words. I'd rather just listen.
Ziggy Marley
I’m not Catholic, I’m not Orthodox… and I wouldn’t even say Rastafarian, that still divides people, I don’t want to divide people so anything that I say is something that must be so big and great that it did encompass everyone and it’s love.
Ziggy Marley
Love is my religion. Hey you can take it or leave it, and you don't have to believe it.
Ziggy Marley
I want the people who listen to my music to feel the feeling that I feel, to cry the cry that I cry - justice. I want them to feel in their hearts the need for justice.
Ziggy Marley
The roots of my music start from the ghetto.
Ziggy Marley
We believe in the almighty and we believe in God and that music is from God and we're inspired by God to give messages and ideas to people.
Ziggy Marley
The truth - you've got to deal with it or it will kill you bit by bit.
Ziggy Marley
In Jamaica, we eradicated polio many years ago, but there are a lot of kids suffering in Africa still.
Ziggy Marley
Everything is connected. There is nothing that is not connected.
Ziggy Marley
I'm not an American, Do they count the votes in America? I haven't voted in Jamaica either.
Ziggy Marley
Love is a positive effect. Love can never have a negative effect, only a positive effect.
Ziggy Marley
Reggae music is simple music - but it's from the heart. Just as people need water to drink, people also need music. If it is true music, the people will be drawn to it.
Ziggy Marley
I am not trying to be better than my father. I am not trying to be like him. I am just trying to be myself and express myself how I feel.
Ziggy Marley
Alcohol, tobacco, and pharmaceutical drugs are legal, but they can hurt a lot of people.
Ziggy Marley
Religion has become so many different things. Religion is an economic thing for some people. Religion is a gun.
Ziggy Marley
The solution for mankind is of a spiritual nature. It is not a political or religious solution. It's the ability to love each other. That's the only solution I see.
Ziggy Marley
I've spent a lot of time in America since Sept. 11, 2001. Being here, I was noticing that the people, who in the '60s used to voice their opinions about their rights, are much different today. People are afraid to voice opposition to the government in a mass way.
