Some Quotes I Love And Why :) Jimi Hendrix

This blog post shall focus on some of Jimi Hendrix's quotes. He has said some really amazing things, and I admire him for his music and his words. He is one of my favorite musicians :) I hope you enjoy this entry.


"When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace."

-Jimi Hendrix

Reason Why: This quote is very powerful, though only a sentence long. I love what it is saying; the world is too absorbed in things that don't matter (money,power, material things, etc.) that they are incapable of creating peace. There is so much more to living than all the small things in our lives. Though money is worth a lot, buys a lot and can give you power and fortune,  it is only a piece of paper. It can not buy you love. I know this sounds cheesy, but I truly believe that if everyone in the world (developed nations especially) took a step back, and stopped being so self-absorbed, peace would be such a reachable goal. I love peace, and even though peace is so far away from ever happening, I keep hope that the world will know peace one day.

"Music doesn't lie. If there is something to be changed in this world, then it can only happen through music."

-Jimi Hendrix

Reason Why: I love when song writers use their music to inspire others. It shows that they do not only want the career in music for themselves. Music has an influence on people. That is why it is used in so many different ways; education, religion, videos, movies, commercials, in restaurants, etc. It can easily calm someone down, make them cry or make them want to get up and dance to it. There have been multiple movements in history where music has triggered emotions, changed people's ways of thinking and helped to shape our culture. A person can even reflect what kind of music they listen to. I believe that music can help change the world. I also believe that music is something that everyone can love, because it is so diverse.

"I just hate to be in one corner. I hate to be put as only a guitar player, or either only as a songwriter, or only as a tap dancer. I like to move around."

-Jimi Hendrix

Reason Why: To me, this quote is basically saying that whether or not you have reached your goals, you should keep making them and keep on dreaming. There is no reason to isolate yourself, and your talents, in a box your entire life. If you have the skills to learn something, do it. I believe that everyone should share their God-given talents with the world, and not hide them. Just like Jimi Hendrix doesn't want just one title in life, neither do I. I want to be known as someone who stands out from everyone else, who keeps dreaming, even when all of my my dream have come true. There is no point in any one's life where they should give up.

So why did I blog about all that? It was actually an English project. I decided I would like to share it with those who read my blog. I spent a lot of time with it, so I figured it could have more attention than just my English instructor. I hope you like it.

I apologize for not being active online lately. Things are getting very busy. I hope to become active again soon.

Until then, take care :)
