“I am Boutros Boutros-Ghali; put down your guns and listen to Bob Marley.”

“Bob Marley isn't my name. I don't even know my name yet.”

“I went deep inside myself. I had time to explore my beliefs and because of that I'm stronger.
Bob Marley (March 1981)”

“Can you imagine your second album — the difficult second album — it's about God? Everyone is tearing their hair out and Chris Blackwell says, "It's okay. There's Bob Marley and Marvin Gaye, Bob Dylan, it's a tradition. We can get through it.”

“Put your ear down close to your soul and listen hard.”

“Jack: [pointing a pistol at Bob's trousers] I'm going to blow your brains out.
[Bob adjusts Jack's gun arm, so that the pistol is now pointing at Bob's head]”

“Sometimes you have to pick the gun up to put the Gun down.”

“All you slingers and fiends
hide behind your rocks
put down your guard
I'm not here to box
this is no showdown
so throw down your gun
you see it doesn't matter
where you come from.”

“Monsieur, sit down; listen to me. I am not a heathen, I am not hard-hearted, I am not unchristian, I am not dangerous, as they tell you; I would not trouble your faith; you believe in God and Christ and the Bible, and so do I.”

“Bob Hope: Put your head back through there, or I'll start handing out baseballs to the audience.”
