Alicia Keys Believe Quotations

I feel the presence of a higher power. I believe that what you give is what you get. It's universal law. I believe in the power of prayer and of words. I've learned that when you predict that negative things will happen, they do.

I don't think even when you find a person, you can be completely honest, ever. There's still pieces of you that you don't give away. I do believe you always need that place where it's just you, your thoughts, no one else's judgment or anything.

I believe in the limitlessness of humans. We're capable of incredible things. At times, that realization is frightening.

I'd rather believe in my own choice and see it all go wrong than do something I'm not fully convinced of and later feel guilty about it.

I believe Aids is the most important issue we face, because how we treat the poor is a reflection of who we are as a people.

I have solid decent people around me, and I believe that is all it is, because you will get destroyed if you have people bringing you down.

I believe if you can find something to give back to, your soul will feel fulfilled in a very powerful way.

We believe Frederick Nietzsche couldn’t have been more right when he said ‘without music, life would be a mistake’,

The artists who have inspired me the most in my life are the ones who have really had something to say and stand up for. That, to me, is part of being an artist-having the voice to express things that need to be verbalized and brought to light. Unfortunately, I don't think that's a priority for people, because the few artists who do have the nerve to take a stand for what they believe get shut down in a way.

I love the song. And I love Bono. I believe AIDS is the most important issue we face ... I urge everyone to recognize the extreme disaster Africa is facing and step up.
