More quotes by 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.

Being larger than life, or being projected as such in the music business, leads you to question yourself. Some people try to forget about it by taking drugs or too much drink, but I was never like that. I was aware that there were very serious, big questions, and I was petrified about what might be in store for me.

The spiritual quest was always the predominant aspect of my life. It's always been there. But there's also an incredible passion connected to it it's not just a dry investigative process. I have been extremely emotional about it, and that comes out in the songs.
Cat Stevens
Music is a lady that I still love because she gives me the air that I breathe. We need all sorts of nourishment. And music satisfies and nourishes the hunger within ourselves for connection and harmony.
Cat Stevens
Some extremists take elements of the sacred scriptures out of context.
Cat Stevens
I had to learn my faith and look after my family, and I had to make priorities. But now I've done it all and there's a little space for me to fill in the universe of music again.
Cat Stevens
You can argue with a philosopher, but you can’t argue with a good song. And I think I’ve got a few good songs.
Cat Stevens
Now I've been crying lately, Thinking about the world as it is. Why must we go on hating? Why can't we live in bliss?
Cat Stevens
I tried Zen and Ching, numerology, tarot cards and astrology. I tried to look back into the Bible, and could not find anything. At this time I did not know anything about Islam, and then, what I regarded as a miracle occurred. My brother had visited the mosque in Jerusalem, and was greatly impressed that while on the one hand it throbbed with life.
Cat Stevens
I've been smiling lately, dreaming about the world as one. And I believe it could be someday it's going to come.

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.
