“You say you love rain, but you use an umbrella to walk under it. You say you love sun, but you seek shelter when it is shining. You say you love wind, but when it comes you close your windows. So that's why I'm scared when you say you love me.”

“Until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned, everywhere is war. And until there are no longer first-class and second-class citizens of any nation, until the colour of a man's skin is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes. And until the basic human rights are equally guaranteed to all without regard to race, there is war. And until that day, the dream of lasting peace, world citizenship, rule of international morality, will remain but a fleeting illusion to be pursued, but never attained... now everywhere is war.鈥�

“I understand we all have our differences. But while learning about history I've read about white people coming together, Jews coming together, Spanish coming together, different cultures and religions understanding and coming together despite their differences. Slavery was never something that shocked me. What shocks me is how black people have not yet overcome the odds and we're such strong smart people. Why we can't just stand together?”

“鉂� You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She鈥檚 not perfect - you aren鈥檛 either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break - her heart. So don鈥檛 hurt her, don鈥檛 change her, don鈥檛 analyze and don鈥檛 expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she鈥檚 not there. 鉂�”

“For a man like Bob Marley, life and Jah were one and the same. Marley saw Jah as being the gift of existence; that is, he believed that he, Bob Marley, was in some way eternal, and that he would never be duplicated. He believed that the singularity of every man and woman is Jah's gift. What we struggle to make of it is our sole gift to Jah. He believed the process of that struggle becomes, in time, the truth.”

“He was lost in that: not being able to have anyone to say, 鈥淚t鈥檚 not your fault, or that there鈥檚 nothing wrong in being like you are.鈥� But that was the atmosphere he came up in that Trench Town environment where everybody is rough. He had to show them that although he didn鈥檛 know his father, at least he knew there was a God and he knew what he was feeling.
鈥楤ob had to put up with a lot of resistance. If he wasn鈥檛 that strong in himself he wouldn鈥檛 be what he became. He would be downtrodden and seen as another half-caste who would never make it.”

“Bob Marley gave Reggae music new meaning. The super-talented Jamaican singer did not just sing; he chanted. Highly spiritual, his music has cadences of subterranean intrigues wholesome for the human psyche. He loved mankind and stood for the oppressed. Bob has been dead now for many years, but his good music lives right on.”
