The Speech that Killed Him | Michael Jackson

I'm starting with the man in the mirror,I'm asking him to change his ways;And no message could have been any clearer,If you wanna make the world a better place,Take a look at yourself, and then make a change!

All of us are products of our childhood

People ask me how I make music. I tell them I just step into it. It's like stepping into a river and joining the flow. Every moment in the river has its song

Copy Image

To live is to be musical, starting with the blood dancing in your veins. Everything living has a rhythm. Do you feel your music?

Copy Image

We have to heal our wounded world. The chaos, despair, and senseless destruction we see today are a result of the alienation that people feel from each other and their environment

Copy Image

Each song is a child I nourish and give my love to. But even if you have never written a song, your life is a song. How can it not be?

Copy Image

Let us dream of tomorrow where we can truly love from the soul, and know love as the ultimate truth at the heart of all creation

Copy Image

Children show me in their playful smiles the divine in everyone

Copy Image

How many victims must that be? Slaughtered in vain across the land,And how many strugles must that be?Before we choose to live the profits planEverybody sing- Every day create your History,Every path you take you're leaving your legacyEvery soldier dies in his gloryEvery legend tells of conquest and liberty

Copy Image

Lies run sprints, but the truth runs marathons

Copy Image

And that's what innocence is. It's simple and trusting like a child, not judgmental and committed to one narrow point of view. If you are locked into a pattern of thinking and responding, your creativity gets blocked. You miss the freshness and magic of the moment. Learn to be innocent again, and that freshness never fades

Copy Image

In their innocence, very young children know themselves to be light and love. If we will allow them, they can teach us to see ourselves the same way

Copy Image

When they say the sky's the limit to me that's really true

Copy Image

But for me the sweetest contact with God has no form. I close my eyes, look within, and enter a deep soft silence. The infinity of God's creation embraces me

Copy Image

In many ways an artist is his work. It's difficult to separate the two. I think I can be brutally objective about my work as I create it, and if something doesn't work, I can feel it, but when I turn in a finished album — or song — you can be sure that I've given it every ounce of energy and God-given talent that I have

Copy Image

Look beyond yourself

Copy Image

When you're strong and good, then you're Bad

Copy Image

In a world filled with hate, we must still dare to hope. In a world filled with anger, we must still dare to comfort. In a world filled with despair, we must still dare to dream. And in a world filled with distrust, we must still dare to believe

Copy Image

If you enter this world knowing you are loved and you leave this world knowing the same, then everything that happens in between can be dealt with

Copy Image

When I step out on stage in front of thousands of people, I don't feel that I'm being brave. It can take much more courage to express true feelings to one person. [...] In spite of the risks, the courage to be honest and intimate opens the way to self-discovery. It offers what we all want, the promise of love

Copy Image

Hope is such a beautiful word, but it often seems very fragile. Life is still being needlessly hurt and destroyed

Copy Image

I'm really very self-confident when it comes to my work. When I take on a project, I believe in it 100%. I really put my soul into it. I'd die for it. That's how I am
