More quotes by Cat Stevens
Music satisfies and nourishes the hunger within ourselves for connection and harmony.
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
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
Life is a journey, you know and a lot of journeys, you go out, you come back.

Cat Stevens
I'm being followed by a moon shadow Leaping and hopping on a moon shadow... Did it take long to find me, I asked the faithful light ...and are you going to stay the night?
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
I've returned to being an amateur without any ties or strings attached, which gives me a freedom I never had before.
Cat Stevens
I listen to the wind, to the wind of my soul Where I end up, well, I think only God really knows.
Cat Stevens
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.
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
When many astronauts go to space, they see the insignificant size of the earth and vastness of space, and they become very religious, because they have seen the Signs of Allah.
Cat Stevens
I was brought up in the modern world of all the luxury and the highlight of show business. I was born into a Christian home.
