More quotes by Cat Stevens
Music satisfies and nourishes the hunger within ourselves for connection and harmony.
Cat Stevens
I've studied various schools of thought ... I acknowledge that some Muslims consider music prohibited, but I've found a lot of evidence from the life of the Prophet to show that he allowed certainly, but even encouraged, music at certain times ...
Cat Stevens
Yesterday I was on the edge Hoping everything was going to work itself out A good honest man doing the work of God Trying to make things better for Him A lover of life in a school for fools Trying to find another way to survive
Cat Stevens
And though you want to last forever, You know you never will, You know you never will, And the good-bye makes the journey harder still.
Cat Stevens
The harm done is often difficult to repair.
Cat Stevens
Everything made so much sense. This is the beauty of the Qur'an it asks you to reflect and reason....When I read the Qur'an further, it talked about prayer, kindness and charity. I was not a Muslim yet, but I felt the only answer for me was the Qur'an and God had sent it to me.
Cat Stevens
Everything I do is for the pleasure of Allah.
Cat Stevens
I became alienated from this religious upbringing, and started making music. I wanted to be a big star. All those things I saw in the films and on the media took hold of me, and perhaps I thought this was my god: the goal of making money.
Cat Stevens
Say what you think think what you mean.
Cat Stevens
If I make a mark in time, I can't say the mark is mine.
Cat Stevens
Life is a journey, you know and a lot of journeys, you go out, you come back.
Cat Stevens
So on and on I go, the seconds tick the time out There's so much left to know, and I'm on the road to find out.
Cat Stevens
After embracing Islam in 1977, I considered the majority of underprivileged dark-skinned people of the so-called Third World brothers and sisters in humanity.
Cat Stevens
We need kids to remind us of how incredible this world is. People are increasingly losing their childhoods too soon, and that's a danger. There's a prophesy somewhere that at a certain point in history, children will be gray. It's weird to think about, but it's possible.
Cat Stevens
I remember when I was a kid, when I just used to love listening to something again and again and over and over. You know, everybody else got sick of it, but I loved that discovery of music and what it did to my world, to my imagination. And so I started really considering, Yeah, I've got to do more, for kids, particularly.
Cat Stevens
Take your time, think a lot, Why, think of everything you've got. For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not. From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen. Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away. I know I have to go.
Cat Stevens
Life is a maze of doors and they all open from the side you're on. Just keep on pushing hard boy, try as you may, you're going to wind up where you started from.
Cat Stevens
Now I'm not making love to anyone's wishes, Only for that light I see 'Cause when I'm dead and lowered low in my grave, That's gonna be the only thing that's left of me.
Cat Stevens
Love heats my blood, blood spins my head, and my head falls in love.
Cat Stevens
I suppose that the media and their portrayal of Islam and the almost tribal separations and divisions of the Muslims are the greatest issues confronting Muslims in the United Kingdom.
