Jimi Hendrix quotes about death
It’s funny how most people love the dead, once you’re dead, you’re made for life.
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.
Life is pleasant! Death is peaceful! It’s the transition that’s troublesome.
I will be dead in five years’ time, but while I am here, I will travel many highways and I will, of necessity, die at a time when my message of love, peace, and freedom can be shared with people all over the world.
When I die, I want people to play my music, go wild and freak out and do anything they want to do.
When I die, just keep playing the records.
White collared conservatives, flashing down the street, pointing their plastic fingers at me. They’re hoping soon my kind will drop and die, but I’m gonna wave my freak flag high.
People still mourn when people die. That’s self-sympathy. All human beings are selfish to a certain extent, and that’s why people get so sad when someone dies. They haven’t finished using him.
Jimi Hendrix quotes about love
When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace.
Peace, Love, and Happiness.
The time I burned my guitar it was like a sacrifice. You sacrifice the things you love. I love my guitar.
The story of life is quicker than the blink of an eye. The story of love is Hello and Goodbye.
You don’t have to be singing about love all the time in order to give love to the people. You don’t have to keep flashing those words all the time.
Jimi Hendrix quotes about music, guitar
Music is a safe kind of high.
I try to use my music to move these people to act.

Music is my religion.
My goal is to be one with the music. I just dedicate my whole life to this art.
Music is the most important thing. I’m thinking of my future. There has to be something new, and I want to be part of it. I want to lead an orchestra with excellent musicians. I want to play music which draws pictures of the world and its space.
Music Is magic. Music is life.
Through music, you hypnotize people and when you get them at their weakest point, you can preach into their subconscious what we want to say.
Sometimes you want to give up the guitar, you’ll hate the guitar. But if you stick with it, you’re gonna be rewarded.
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.
Sometimes you want to give up the guitar, you’ll hate the guitar. But if you stick with it, you’re gonna be rewarded.
I wish they’d had electric guitars in cotton fields back in the good old days. A whole lot of things would’ve been straightened out.
Rock is so much fun. That’s what it’s all about – filling up the chest cavities and empty kneecaps and elbows.
I’ve been imitated so well I’ve heard people copy my mistakes.
Music makes me high on stage, and that’s the truth. It’s like being almost addicted to music.
Music doesn’t lie. If there is something to be changed in this world, then it can only happen through music.
