Jimi Hendrix quotes on spirituality

9. I'm a Voodoo Child, Voodoo Child, Lord knows I am a Voodoo Child

12. [When asked if music has a meaning]Definitely, and it's getting more spiritual. Pretty soon I believe people will have to rely on music to get some kind of peace of mind, or satisfaction, or direction, actually. More so than politics, the big ego scene. You know it's an art of words... Meaning nothing. Therefore you will have to get an earthier substance, like music or the arts.

40. 'We call it 'Electric Church Music' because to us music is a religion.'

42. 'When I was a little boy, I believed that if you put a tooth under your pillow, a fairy would come in the night and take away the tooth and leave a dime. Now, I believed in myself more than anything. And, I suppose in a way, that's also believing in God. If there is a God and He made you, then if you believe in yourself, you're also believing in Him. So I think everybody should believe in himself. That doesn't mean you've got to believe in heaven and hell and all that stuff. But it does mean that what you are and what you do is your religion. I can't express myself in easy conversation-the words just don't come out right. But when I get up on stage-well, that's my whole life. That's my religion. My music is electric church music, if by 'church' you mean 'religion', I am electric religion.'

49. 'Music is Magic. Magic is Life' (part of the lyrics to an unfinished song - found written on a piece of paper after his death)
