Jimi Hendrix

“You have to give people something to dream on.”

“Who are you to judge the life i livei know i'm not perfect and i don't live to be.but before you start pointing fingersmake sure your hands are clean.”

“I'm the one that has to die when it's time for me to die, so let me live my life, the way I want to.”

“When I played God Bless The Queen, I was wondering if they was gonna dig us, then quite naturally I'd go on and try to get it together.”

“To be with the others, you have to have your hair short and wear ties. So we're trying to make a third world happen, you know what I mean?”

“The time I burned my guitar it was like a sacrifice. You sacrifice the things you love. I love my guitar.”

“Even Castles made of sand, fall into the sea, eventually.”

“I try to use my music to move these people to act.”

“When I die, I want people to play my music, go wild and freak out and do anything they want to do.”

“I have this one little saying, when things get too heavy just call me helium, the lightest known gas to man.”

“If it was up to me, there wouldn't be no such thing as the establishment.”

“Music makes me high on stage, and that's the truth. It's like being almost addicted to music.”

“Every city in the world always has a gang, a street gang, or the so-called outcasts.”

“All I'm writing is just what I feel, that's all. I just keep it almost naked. And probably the words are so bland.”

“It's time for a new National Anthem. America is divided into two definite divisions. The easy thing to cop out with is sayin' black and white. You can see a black person. But now to get down to the nitty-gritty, it's getting' to be old and young - not the age, but the way of thinking. Old and new, actually... because there's so many even older people that took half their lives to reach a certain point that little kids understand now.”

“All I'm gonna do is just go on and do what I feel.”

“Don't raise me up, I am but a messenger.”

“I was trying to do too many things at the same time, which is my nature. But I was enjoying it, and I still do enjoy it.”

“It all has to come from inside, though, I guess.”

“It's funny the way most people love the dead. Once you are dead, you are made for life.”
