True Hippy Quotes

All of these are Michael Franti-quotes, such a hippy



I believe that what you sing to the clouds
Will rain upon you when your sun has gone away
And I believe that what you dream to the moon
Will manifest before you rest another day

Love is gonna set me free


Every flower has the right to be blooming
Stay human
Because all the freaky people make the beauty of the world


Well well well well
sunshine and loveliness
ain't nobody feeling no ugliness tonight
ain't it fine like sippin' sweet Georgie wine
see I'm just chillin' with these friends of mine


Do you wanna feel freaky and free?
Take your time
Unwind your mind
We all need a little soulshine


Every single soul is a poem, written on the back of god's hand



Sing on
From the language of your ancestors and
Sing on
Be playful in your innocence and
Lift your head up high
And rejoice for all you see without your eyes
Sing on
Like a bird that's makin' love in sunset skies


exhale from the heart
not from the lungs
speak from the heart
not from the tongue


The harder they hit us, the louder we become
Kind of like the skin on the drum


What ever happened to the sun? It used to always come
Back when we were young we’d sing and party all night long.
But seasons don’t ever come on time no more and war paints over the years

And anger fills our tears
But I know I know I know I’m not alone

 

Wow beautiful freak i loved those quotes i collect quotes and rarely find ones i like that much thanks

 

Oh say, can you see
My eyes, if you can
Then my hair's too short!

 

War is harmful to children and flowers and other living things.

 

ok so heres a quote i like im not sure who wrote it or if its a hippie quote but its still a good one.

I admire the sun. Every evening without complaint, it allows night to engulf it.
It sets, in the comfortable knowledge that it will rise the next morning. It puts
complete trust in itself and it never has to fear or worry. The sun never worried
that the night would take it and never let it run free to play upon our skin and
bring light to the places we know and love. The sun was brave.

 

That's the one I was hoping someone had the mind to mention.

What if they gave a war and nobody came?

 

Face the truth today.
-Hendrix (I think)

 

"Turn on tune in and drop out" Timothy Leary

 

In a gentle way, you can shake the world.

 

"On one side you've got a set of values that's doom, death, degradation and despair being dealt out like cards off the bottom of the deck by a grey faced man who hates ya. And on the other side you've got a girl running through a field of flowers, half naked and high and laughing in the sunshine. And if you offer those two alternates to child, a child's too smart to make that mistake, it's not gonna go for that grey faced dude with the cards." - David Crosby

 

If you work for a living, why kill yourself working?

Tuco.

 

Hey here are some more, not all hippie but they have a hippie spirit

No one is born hating another person because of the colour of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.
~ Nelson Mandela

"This is the way of peace: Overcome evil with good, falsehood with truth, and hatred with love!"

Heard this somewhere but cant remember where:

"Maybe we can't change the world, but we can try!"

 

Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose. (Janis Joplin)
If no news is good news, bad news will do. (Goose Creek)

 

A little feeling in my gut that I get of late
When I think about these cats running the world with hate
I say: something's gotta give

- John Butler Trio (Something's Gotta Give)


I was reading the newspaper just yesterday
Got the headlines reading God bless the USA
And I thought: God Bless Everyone

- John Butler Trio (Something's Gotta Give)

I don’t need a passport to walk on this earth
Anywhere I go ’cause I was made of this earth
I'm born of this earth, I breathe of this earth
And even with the pain I believe in this earth
so I wake up every mornin' and I'm steppin' on the floor
I wake up every mornin' and I'm steppin' out the door
I got faith in the sky, faith in the one
faith in the people rockin' underneath the sun
'cause every bit of land is a holy land
and every drop of water is a holy water
and every single child is a son or a daughter
of the one earth mama and the one earth papa

-Michael Franti & Spearhead (Hello Bonjour)

 

That's great, Thanx! I'd never heard that one before.

"I'd love to change the world, but I don't know what to do. So I'll leave it up to you."- Ten Years After

"I think your atmosphere is hurting my eyes and your concrete mountains are blacking out the skies. Now I don't say that you've been telling me lies, but why do I hear those children's cries?....I see the aeroplanes carrying the bombs. Why, you even find people to drop them on. You know you cant keep what you take by force, but it's only my first impression of course." Five Man Electrical Band

"1, 2, 3, 4, we don't want your fucking war"- Country Joe And The Fish

 

They say-
it is better to light a candle than to curse the dark

in the eyes of the youth
there are question marks

like freedom
freedom for the mind and soul,

we don't see them
see them for their worth at all,

that’s why we lead em

lead em to these wars
and what is it we feed em

feed em our impurities
and who it is we treat em

treat em like the enemy
humanity will need em

need em like the blood we spill
and we're freedom

freedom for the hearts we fill
we mislead em

they hunger for the love we give
but we cheat em

the guys beat him and all he wants
is his freedom,

so they defeat him,
whatever spirit he’s got

"beat him"

and they teach him
the rest of the world don’t need him

and he believes
in the disease that he’s heathen


Put up your fists if all you want is freedom
Put up your fists if all you want is -

-K'naan

 

Some quotes by Abbie Hoffman:



Revolution is not something fixed in ideology, nor is it something fashioned to a particular decade. It is a perpetual process embedded in the human spirit.

You measure a democracy by the freedom it gives its dissidents, not the freedom it gives its assimilated conformists.

There is absolutely no greater high than challenging the power structure as a nobody, giving it your all, and winning!

I don't think my goals have changed since I was four and I fought schoolyard bullies.

It's embarrassing when you try to overthrow the government and you wind up on the Best Seller's List.

In the nineteen-sixties, apartheid was driven out of America. Legal segregation - Jim Crow - ended. We didn't end racism, but we ended legal segregation. We ended the idea that you can send a million soldiers ten thousand miles away to fight in a war that people do not support. We ended the idea that women are second-class citizens. Now, it doesn't matter who sits in the Oval Office. But the big battles that were won in that period of civil war and strife you cannot reverse. We were young, we were reckless, arrogant, silly, headstrong...and we were right! I regret nothing! (Closing words from his last speech, Vanderbilt University, April 1989)

And finally, his suicide note:
It's too late. We can't win. They've gotten too powerful.
