Zitate und Sprüche von Lenny Kravitz

Photography is magic, it's a time capsule. It's something that keeps that moment alive.

I've woken up from dreams and the whole song is there. I'm listening to it in my dreams. I consciously have to wake myself up and get a tape recorder because I hear it like a record.

We weren't put here to be miserable. We were put here to do the best we can, and we should take our energy and improve our state of being.

People always accuse me of being motivational in a way, like it was a bad thing, but that's just how I was raised. My mom raised me in a positive environment, with lots of love in my heart, and that reflects in my music.

I am not trying to change the world. I am just offering my gift that God gave me, and if somebody is moved by it, that's beautiful.

My dream is to become a farmer. Just a Bohemian guy pulling up his own sweet potatoes for dinner.

If I can make it there
I'll make it anywhere
It's up to you
New York, New York

Manhattan, for millions of our forefathers, the gateway to hope, opportunity and happiness beyond their wildest dreams. Today, that hope is still alive, it's called "The First Date". On Saturday nights, every restaurant in Lower Manhattan resembles its own little Ellis Island.

That doesn't sleep
And find I'm king of the hill
Top of the heap

I don't have a phone. I refuse to be a slave to technology.

A photo says, you were happy, and I wanted to catch that. A photo says, you were so important to me that I put down everything else to come watch.

Life is like a good black and white photograph, there's black, there's white, and lots of shades in between.

Truth is like the sun. You can shut it out for a time, but it ain't goin' away.

The warden threw a party in the county jail
The prison band was there and they began to wail
The band was jumping and the joint began to swing
You should've heard those knocked out jailbirds sing

Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancing to the Jailhouse Rock

Someone will always be prettier.
Someone will always be smarter.
Someone will always be younger.
But they will never be you.

You don't need me to tell you what's gone wrong
You know what's going on
And it seems to me we've not cared enough
Or confided in each other at all
It seems like we've all got our backs against the wall

Time waits for nobody
Time waits for no one
We've got to trust one another
Or we'd have no more future at all

This skull between my ears, that is a bad neighbourhood. I should not be in there alone.

You're constantly trying to prove yourself, even after you've made it.

Someday we'll look back on this and it will all seem funny.

Oh, cut loose like a deuce another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
She got down but she never got tight, but she'll make it alright

Lose your dreams and you might lose your mind.

The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it, but I don't want to be its prisoner either.

Let's play it f*cking loud!

You can never be wise and be in love at the same time.

In her own good land here she's been abused
She's been burned, dishonored, denied an' refused
And the government for which she stands
Has scandalized throughout the land
And she's getting thread bare, and she's wearin' thin
But she's in good shape, for the shape she's in
Cause she's been through the fire before
And I believe she can take a whole lot more

Of emotions, of love, of breakup, of love and hate and death and dying, mama, apple pie, and the whole thing. It covers a lot of territory, country music does.

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