I will be dead in five years' time, but while I am here, I will travel many highways and I will, of necessity, die at a time when my message of love, peace, and freedom can be shared with people all over the world.

Additional quotes by Jimi Hendrix

Anger, he smiles, towering in shiny metallic purple armor.
Queen Jealousy Envy waits behind him — her fire green gown sneers at the grassy ground.
Blue are the life-giving waters taken for granted, they quietly understand.
Once-happy turquoise armies lay opposite ready,
But wondering why the fight is on.
But they're all bold as love...just ask the Axis.

Red, so confident, he flashes trophies of war and ribbons of euphoria.
Orange is young, full of daring,
But very unsteady for the first go-round.
Yellow in this case is not so mellow,
In fact, I'm trying to say, it's frightened like me.
And all these emotions of mine keeps holding me back from giving my life to rainbow you.
