"Eventually you get to this point where..." - Quote by Kendrick Lamar

“The best thing is to always keep honest people around, because when you have a bunch of yes men around that know that you're making a mistake but let you go on with it, that's when it ruins your mind state as an artist.”

“I'm just writing, writing, writing. I keep these tablets on me until I'm inspired to go back in and make the music. I never take a break from my pen, because I pride myself on that.”

“Whenever I make music, it reflects where I'm at mentally.”

“You are not one you are a Thousand. Just Light your Lantern.”

“Only through suffering can we find ourselves.”

“Any conclusion you reach about yourself has to be an unseen limitation because there's always more to see.”

“The problem isn't materialism as such. Rather it is the underlying assumption that full satisfaction can arise from gratifying the senses alone. Unlike animals whose quest for happiness is restricted to survival and to the immediate gratification of sensory desires, we human beings have the capacity to experience happiness at a deeper level which, when achieved, can overwhelm unhappy experiences.”

“Work at something you enjoy and that's worthy of your time and talent.”

“Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.”
