    • MOST of this has been sufficiently sourced, and is included, but the "Light up the darkness" portion has not yet been provided a clear source, beyond its notable occurrence in the film I Am Legend (which is referenced on the page in the "Quotes about Marley" section). ~ ♞☤☮♌︎Kalki ⚚⚓︎⊙☳☶⚡ 22:31, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

• A little wine sometimes. Spirits are bad, alcohol wrong. Herb does grow.

• Bob Marley isn't my name. I don't even know my name yet.

• Every man think his burden is the heaviest, who feels it knows it, lord.

Redemption Song

I've just read that "Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our mind" from the Redemption Song originally were Marcus Garveys words (http://www.rasta-man-vibration.com/marcus-garvey.html). Does anyone know if this is true and if it should be mentioned? --109.90.228.2 15:29, 30 June 2012 (UTC)Judy

additions and organization

In the next day or so, intend to add and organize this page further, with sections for albums, but I have only done a little as yet, and have to be leaving again shortly, so I have not posted an "inuse" tag to it, and might not do so, because I suspect I will probably only have very short bouts to do work on it, for at least a few days. Within a week or so, I do expect to have added to it significantly. ~ ♞☤☮♌︎Kalki ⚚⚓︎⊙☳☶⚡ 03:47, 20 April 2021 (UTC) + tweaks
