Doesn't matter what goes on in my life; I go forward.
— Yoel Romero
As you begin to realize that every different type of music, everybody's individual music, has its own rhythm, life, language and heritage, you realize how life changes, and you learn how to be more open and adaptive to what is around us.
— Yo-Yo Ma
All my songs depict a slice of life and how youngsters perceive it. My song 'Blue Eyes' is exactly the kind of conversation a 21 or 22-year-old guy will have with the girl he likes.
— Yo Yo Honey Singh
I think the singer in Pearl Jam should eat some Pearl Jam! He cannot sing to save his life! And the guitar player needs to seek help.
— Yngwie Malmsteen
If history remembers me at all, in any way, I hope it will be as a man who loved the Land of Israel and watched over it in every way he could, all his life.
— Yitzhak Shamir
I think that life in Israel is sometimes bigger than the movies.
— Yitzhak Rabin
I really live my life looking over my shoulder.
— YG
You gotta stay on point in everything in life.
My homies in Gadsden aren't as exposed as I am culturally, which is awesome - that's why I love going home. I'm in the kitchen with people who don't know anything but the simple life, what's important to them, and what's dope.
— Yelawolf
'Radioactive' is the fall out of my life's inspirations, a testament to my ability to survive it all and to tell the story.
I imagine God to be like my father. My father was always the voice of certainty in my life. Certainty in the wisdom, certainty in the path, certainty always in God. For me God is certainty in everything. Certainty that everything is good and everything is God.
— Yehuda Berg
As children, our imaginations are vibrant, and our hearts are open. We believe that the bad guy always loses and that the tooth fairy sneaks into our rooms at night to put money under our pillow. Everything amazes us, and we think anything is possible. We continuously experience life with a sense of newness and unbridled curiosity.
When I was a child, I used to paint intently. The older I become, and the closer death approaches, the brighter my life gets day by day.
— Yayoi Kusama
I think I will be able to, in the end, rise above the clouds and climb the stairs to Heaven, and I will look down on my beautiful life.
We plan to eliminate the state of Israel and establish a purely Palestinian state. We will make life unbearable for Jews by psychological warfare and population explosion. We Palestinians will take over everything, including all of Jerusalem.
— Yasser Arafat
I never had planned for my life and my career.
— Yasmine Al Masri
I know, ultimately, I want to help effect change; otherwise, I would look at myself in the mirror every day and think, 'What in the world am I doing with my life?'
— Yara Shahidi
Like crime, terrorism is a fact of life. I grew up in Israel, where every unattended bag was a suspected bomb; when my family moved for a few years, it was to London in the early years of 'the Troubles.'
— Yochai Benkler
I really would like to be involved in things and to understand things, and in some ways you've got to be careful what you wish for because I feel very, very blessed to have such an interesting life and to be able to have little snapshots of lives of people from many different parts of the world.
When I grew up, there was no TV, nothing. The guitar could be my whole life. The kids today have Internet and TV and games and all that stuff.
Before I was acting, I was extremely athletic and for a lot of time in my life, I didn't know how to deal with the energy that I had to move and use my body in ways.
— Y'lan Noel
A man who goes forth to take the life of another whom he does not know must believe one thing only - that by his act he will change the course of history.
I felt so free in space, flying around and unrestrained by any social relationships, but my life since has changed a lot. Now I am extra-careful about what I say and do because everyone recognises me.
— Yi So-Yeon
The first album was going to be called 'I'm from Bompton,' and then I changed it to 'My Krazy Life.'
I love sport because I love life, and sport is one of the basic joys of life.
— Yevgeny Yevtushenko
Hip-hop is the only music in the world where you can take any instrument and make it hip hop. It's anybody's music. It's what you make of it. That's for anything you do in life.
'Yela' represents hunger, life, light, fire, power. 'Wolf' speaks to my fighting spirit. The soul I put in my music.
At any given moment, it's not about where we are supposed to be. It's about what work, which relationship, what decision I take. Every moment counts. Every decision counts. And if we look at our decisions in life as such, we stop battling and start winning.
The whole point of all of this - why we are here, why the world is here, and why we have the political system and leaders that we do - is to achieve change. This is the purpose of life.
I have done all the work myself, not assistants. That's why I'm in a wheelchair: I've been doing it physically - it's hard labour - throughout my life.
The mentality with African and European people is different. In Africa, when you come from a difficult life, when it's not so easy to eat, not so easy to survive, you respect money when you start to earn it, and you respect people more. When you respect people, they will respect you, and your life is better for that.
— Yaya Toure
Every time I go to Beirut, I see people and the quality of life going slowly from bad to worse, and from worse to even worse.
— Yasmine Hamdan
I come from a family of refugees. I'm used to surviving and going with the flow, and what happened to me was just life.
Personally, getting into college was a big deal because I realized it's probably one of the only things I've fully planned. The rest of my life has been, for the most part, a nice little happy accident. I'm glad that it happened this way, but it's nonetheless unintentional.
I realized late in life that my twin passions are music and people.
After reaching 50, I began to wonder what the root of life is.
Just the whole thing of getting up in the morning - I love the sunshine, I love the palm trees. I'm that kind of guy. I like to drive around with the top down and just enjoy life. I never did that before, so it's a beautiful thing.
What I enjoy the most about 'Insecure' is it holds up a mirror to real life. If you're paying attention and you're watching consciously, you are able to make better decisions about who you are, the people that are around you.
In fighting terror, you cannot let it interfere with the normal life of civilians in Israel.
Stress come with life, period, bro.
Me having my moms and pops in my life and knowing and seeing what they went through for us - it's why I'm a good father.
You don't have to cheat or steal to be successful in life, but you must be ready to convert your challenges to opportunity.
— Yemi Osinbajo
I can tell you that when you're willing to give your life up to see a dream through, the reward is great.
You have to fall. You have to understand what that feels like. For what I want in my life, and for where I want to go with this music, you gotta be humiliated, man. You gotta understand what that feels like. It just makes you stronger.
We are increasingly open to understanding how we are all connected and that if we sink the ship that we are all on, we all drown. However, we have simultaneously become so focused on our own life experiences that we think we are alone.
I have been taking every step toward the future every day through making many paintings and sculptures with my deep emotion hidden in my life.
Certainly, I devote my energy to both telling my personal life story and seeking self- obliteration. However, I will not destroy myself through art.
It can literally change someone's life; it's very positive for young teenagers to get into cosplay if they do it with their friends or with supervision from their parents - it can really foster their social skills.
— Yaya Han
Maybe I was blessed that my main drive was purely selfish. I needed to make something, make my life better, wider, have poetry in my life, have something that gives me hope on an everyday basis. That was my main drive all along, really.
I came to New York after Bennington College and trained as a singer. I lived on the West Side and I went to my voice lessons. That was a wonderful part of my life and I really thought that I could go somewhere with my voice.
— Yasmin Aga Khan
