Pretty much everyone in the world is universal in thinking that 2016 was shock after shock after shock. We had Brexit, we had Trump, we had the deaths of some of the world’s greatest stars. Some of the biggest legends to have ever existed left us last year, and there’s no better way to honour them than with some of their greatest ever quotes:
It would be wonderful to think that the future is unknown and sort of surprising
I want things to be characters and not me. Why would I want to play me?
Concentration comes out of a combination of confidence and hunger
I always had a repulsive need to be something more than human
There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in

I used to think you make your own life, and then you call it fate
Gijsbert Hanekroot/Redferns
I think musicians and artists are the most philanthropic people I know
Experience is what you got when you didn’t get what you wanted
Every day I feel is a blessing from God. And I consider it a new beginning. Yeah, everything is beautiful

You can’t relive your life
Most people can't see beauty and love. I see our music as medicine
He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life
You’ll never find peace of mind until you listen to your heart
