Hope is such a beautiful word, but it often seems very fragile. Life is still being needlessly hurt and destroyed. The image of one baby seal alone on the ice or one baby girl orphaned in war is still frightening in its helplessness. I realized that nothing would finally save life on earth but trust in life itself, in its power to heal, in its ability to survive our mistakes and welcome us back when we learn to correct those mistakes.
 
There's a Mother's Day and there's a Father's Day, but there's no Children's Day. It would mean a lot. World peace.
Michael Jackson

I have been the artist with the longest career, and I am so proud and honoured to be chosen from heaven to be invincible
Michael Jackson

I believe in wishes and in a person's ability to make a wish come true, I really do. And a wish is more than a wish... it's a goal that your conscience and subconscience can help make reality.
Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson

And the dream we were conceived in will reveal a joyful face... and the world we once believed in will shine again in grace. Then why do we keep strangling life wound this Earth, crucify its soul. Though it's plain to see, this world is heavenly. We could be God's glow... Heal the world.
Michael Jackson

I used to dream I used to glance beyond the stars Now I don't know where we are although I know we've drifted far What about yesterday What about the seas The heavens are falling down I can't even breathe What about the bleeding Earth Can't we feel its wounds What about nature's worth? It's our planet's womb.
Michael Jackson

Children show me in their playful smiles the divine in everyone. This simple goodness shines straight from their hearts and only asks to be lived.

When I look into the eyes of my Prince, and my daughter Paris, I see miracles and I see beauty.

Before you judge me, try hard to love me...

MJ praising the work of his photographer William Pecchi Jr in a letter.


"It is the art of stopping time, to preserve a moment that the naked eye cannot hold, to capture truth spontaneous truth, the depths of excitement in human spirit.
All else will be forgotten, but not the films. Generations from now will experience the excitement you've captured; it truly is a time capsule".


How delightful, that's a real poem there :)

Quotes By Famous People About Michael Jackson​


"I never saw any songs he wrote, but I always knew he could. there was an instrumental hit out, "love is blue", in about 1970 (Michael was 12 years old). He came in one day and asked me about this section of the song he found interesting. So I showed it to him on piano. He couldn´t play, but he was able to pick it out with one finger on the piano. He was able to learn this part and would sit there picking it out. There is a certain talent that goes with writing a song, and I could see he had it."

"Maybe I look at the world through rose colored glasses but I love people all over the world. That is why stories of racism realy disturb me."


"I just can't conceive of how a person could hate another because of skin color. I love every race on the planet earth. Prejudice is the child of ignorance.
Naked we come into the world and naked we shall go out. And a very good thing too,
for it reminds me that I am naked under my shirt, whatever it's color."
 
About interviews and magazines misquoting him:

"I say things and they turn it all around. Once I made a quote - I care about starvation and I love children and I want to do something about the future. And I said, one day I'd love to go to India and see the starving children and really see what it feels like. And they wrote that Michael Jackson gets a kick out of seeing children starve, so you can see what kind of person he is!"
Michael Jackson 1983.

I found this so cute for some reason :p

"I pray when I see something totally magnificent. How could you not see that and go “Wow, what a good God”?"

"What I don’t understand is just singing about sex and “I want to get in a hot tub with you baby and rub you all over” and, but I get battered in the press as the weirdo."
 
^ At first I literally laughed out loud imagining him saying the first part of the sentence of the second quote. While it's actually the sad, sad truth.

Keep em coming guys, I love this.

Edit to add:

What I do when I write is that i'll do a raggedy, rough version just to hear the chorus, just to see how much I like the chorus. If it works for me that way when it's raggedy, then I'll know it will just work... Listen to that, that's at home. Janet, Randy, Me... Janet and I are going "Whoo, Whoo... Whoo, Whoo..." I do that same process with every song. It's the melody, it's the melody that's most important, If the melody can sell me, then I'll go to the next step The idea is to transcribe from what's in your mentality onto tape If you take a song like "Billie Jean," Where the bass line is the prominent, dominant piece, the protagonist of the song, the main driving riff that you here, getting the character of the riff to be just the way you want it to be, that takes a lot of time. Listen, you're hearing four basses on there, doing four different personalities, and that's what gives it character, but it takes a lot of work.
~Michael Jackson listening to an early writing version of Billie Jean on his iPhone, Ebony Magazine December 2007.

I'm sorry if this has already been mentioned, but it's one of my personal favourites.

“I love to read. I wish I could advise more people to read. There’s a whole new world in books. If you can’t afford to travel, you travel mentally through reading. You can see anything and go any place you want to in reading.”

I couldn't agree more.
 
“Friends, the foundation of all human knowledge, the beginning of human consciousness, must be that each and every one of us is an object of love. Before you know if you have red hair or brown, before you know if you are black or white, before you know of what religion you are a part, you have to know that you are loved”.

~ Michael Jackson ~
