To me, that's the key thing, the pursuit of happiness. That's the basic, ultimate freedom.

The happiness and peace attained by those satisfied by the nectar of spiritual tranquillity is not attained by greedy persons restlessly moving here and there.

There can be no peace for us, only misery, and the greatest happiness.

This music is about struggle. Reggae is a vehicle to carry a message of freedom and peace.

People miss happiness by chasing after false values and repressing the feelings that make life valuable and beautiful. When you get up in the morning feeling fine your experience during just those few minutes or hours when you are reacting happily to life is an end in itself.

The loss of these tastes [for poetry and music] is a loss of happiness, and may possibly be injurious to the intellect, and more probably to the moral character, by enfeebling the emotional part of our nature.
