Rasta Quotes

• Life is one big road with lots of signs,
  So when you riding through the ruts,
  Don't you complicate your mind
  Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy
  Don't bury your thoughts; put your vision to reality.

• Life and Jah are one in the same. Jah is the gift of existence. I am in some way eternal, I will never be duplicated. The singularity of every man and woman is Jah's gift. What we struggle to make of it is our sole gift to Jah. The process of what that struggle becomes, in time, the Truth.

• Reggae, oh man. It's the ultimate music. The positivity. The musicality. The whole cultural expressionism of it. The danceability. Just the cool factor. The melody factor. Some of it comes from a religious place. If there were a competition of who makes the best religious music, it would definitely be the Rastafarian reggae.
