Michael Jackson Famous Quotes



We still remember many great works of Michael Jackson. We never forget his project in humanity such as “We are the World”. Today Michael Jackson is no more, but his profound quotations and dedication towards music will always inspire millions. A golden era of pop music ended with his death. But, he will always be alive in the hearts of millions of his fans through his irrevocable contribution to the world of music.

Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, was a self-oriented pop singer and dancer. He started his music career in early childhood. He developed his own style of singing and dancing. Due to his unique dance steps, especially in the 'Moonwalk', he was successful in attracting a huge crowd wherever he went. He won a Grammy for Someone in the Dark in the movie 'Extra Terrestrial'. Some of his famous albums are Thriller, Beat It, Bad, Black or White, Dangerous and HIStory.


Following are some Michael Jackson quotes that reveal his pure thoughts about life, love and relationship.

"My goal in life is to give to the world what I was lucky to receive... the ecstasy of divine union through my music and my dance."

"In a world filled with hate, we must still dare to hope. In a world filled with anger, we must still dare to comfort. In a world filled with despair, we must still dare to dream. And in a world filled with distrust, we must still dare to believe."

"The meaning of life is contained in every single expression of life. It is present in the infinity of forms and phenomena that exist in all of creation."

“People write negatives things, because they feel that’s what sells. Good news to them, doesn’t sell."


“I wanted to have a place that I could create everything that I never had as a child. So, you see rides. You see animals. There's a movie theatre. I was always on tour, travelling.”

Please read several quotes about Michael Jackson from other famous people in the world:

"There are certain people in our popular culture that just capture people's imaginations. And in death, they become even larger. Now, I have to admit that it's also fed by a 24/7 media that is insatiable." - President Barack Obama, who was asked about the outpouring of emotion related to Michael Jackson's death during an interview with CBS while he was in Moscow.

"When he did his iconic moonwalk, I was shocked. It was magic. Michael Jackson went into orbit and never came down. Though it ended way too soon, Michael's life was beautiful." - Motown Records founder Berry Gordy.

"This is a moment that I wish that I didn't live to see come. But as much as I can say that and mean it, I do know that God is good and I do know that as much as we may feel -- and we do -- that we need Michael here with us, God must have needed him far more." - Stevie Wonder.


"He was a true gift and there are very few that have come to the magnitude of influence that he had on the world." - Neil Portnow, president of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences.
