Bob Marley was the Undisputed King of Reggae Music and a Spiritual Leader in the Caribbean and Beyond. His life and work continue to inspire generation after generation. Here are his thoughts and words on... Philosophy "What we really need is the right to be right and the right to be wrong." Success "Me no enjoy success, y'know. Look how slim me is. Me just come to do God's work, me no really enjoy it." Music "My music will go on forever. Maybe it's a fool say that, but when me know facts me can say facts. My music will go on forever." Sex "Children are wonderful. It don't take plenty, y'know, just a nice girl who don't take birth control. Sexual intercourse is a wonderful thing." Ganja "The more people smoke herb, the more Babylon fall." Politics "Government sometimes maybe not like what we have to say because we say it too... plain." Race "There should be no war between black and white. But until white people listen to black with open ears, there must be well-suspicion." Himself "Bob Marley isn't my name. I don't even know my name yet."
