When I hear a singer, I want them to be passionate and intense, and soul singers like Otis Redding and Wilson Pickett always seemed to do exactly that.
The soul never thinks without a picture.
Nothing can so pierce the soul as the uttermost sigh of the body.
Knowledge is the eye of desire and can become the pilot of the soul.
For me the safety pin is about rebellion, and I'm punk in the soul.
The pinnacle of the fulfillment I can ever experience for my spirit and soul is to hear from the Lord, when I see Him face to face, 'Well done my good and faithful servant.'
Idleness of the mind is much worse than that of the body: wit, without employment, is a disease - the rust of the soul, a plague, a hell itself.
'Soul Plane' put me in a position to succeed. I'm glad I had the opportunity to be the lead man.
All things must come to the soul from its roots, from where it is planted.

As polarized as we have been, we Americans are locked in a cultural war for the soul of our country.
Virtue, perhaps, is nothing more than politeness of soul.
I've never seen myself as a pop singer. I grew up listening to gospel, soul and rock. My approach to pop is that, when I was doing my album, I wanted to have raw, genuine lyrics, but wanted it to be easy to process.
One of my proudest moments is I didn't sell my soul for the sake of popularity.
