Who said it?
- "If I should ever die, God forbid, let this be my epitaph: The only proof he needed for the existence of God was music."
- John Lennon
- Kurt Vonnegut
- Pete Townshend (The Who)
- Stephen Colbert
- "I don't profess to be a practicing Christian although I think Christ was what he was and anybody who says something great about Him, I believe."
- Elvis Presley
- Bono (U2)
- Elton John
- John Lennon
- "The background of our music is a spiritual-blues thing... we're making our music into electric church music - a new kind of Bible you carry in your hearts, one that will give you a physical feeling. We try to make our music so loose and hard-hitting so it hits your soul hard enough to make it open. [Rock] is more than music, it's like church, like a foundation for the lost or potentially lost... we're trying to save the kids, to create a buffer between young and old. Our music is shock therapy to make them realize a little more of what their goals should be. We want them to realize that our music is just as spiritual as going to church. The soul must rule, not money or drugs. You should rule yourself and give God a chance..."
- Bob Dylan
- Sly Stone
- Jimi Hendrix
- Carlos Santana
- "My first love would be spiritual music."

- Jon Anderson (Yes)
- Carlos Santana
- Timothy Leary
- Twila Paris
- "I think art can lead you to God. I think that's the purpose of everything. If it's not doing that, what's it doing? It's leading you the other way. It's certainly not leading you nowhere."
- Bob Dylan
- T-Bone Burnett
- Ian McCulloch (Echo & the Bunnymen)
- Johnny Cash
- "Christianity has survived Christians for over two thousand years now, which from my point of view is evidence that maybe something is going on there."
- Bob Dylan
- T-Bone Burnett
- Bono (U2)
- Tim Robbins

- Bono (U2)
- George Harrison

- Carlos Santana
- "Here I was, a young man, and suddenly my dream came true, which was to become a successful musician. Actually, successful far beyond my expectations. You hand a young guy everything this world says is success and what is supposed to be fulfilling. We were very well off financially; we had our pick of the girls; we had Porsches, yachts, and all that kind of stuff. Then you find that that’s really not it."
- Kerry Livgren (Kansas)
- Mac Powell (Third Day)
- Pete Townshend (The Who)
- John Lennon
- "The more I would try to sing about the universe destroying me, the universe being dark and mysterious, the more I sounded like I was worth listening to. It's strange. It's like, the guy who'll get up there in front of people and not be afraid of humiliation is the most powerful guy in the room. The more insignificant I thought I was, the more significant I think I sounded. The more I admitted I was helpless, the more powerful I became."
- Mac Powell (Third Day)
- Wayne Coyne (Flaming Lips)
- Jon Anderson (Yes)
- Chris Martin (Coldplay)
