"People want to listen to a message, word from Jah. This could be passed through me or anybody. I am not a leader. Messenger. The words of the songs, not the person, is what attracts people"

- Bob Marley

About this Quote

Bob Marley is emphasizing the importance of the message, instead of the messenger. He is saying that it is the words of the tunes, not the individual, that draws in people. He is not claiming to be a leader, but rather a messenger, conveying the words of Jah. He is suggesting that anybody can be a messenger, and that it is the message that is essential, not the messenger. This is a powerful message, as it encourages people to focus on the message, rather than the messenger. It also motivates people to be available to hearing messages from anyone, regardless of their status or position. Bob Marley's words are a pointer that it is the message that matters, not the messenger.
