More quotes by 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
The sexual act - separating that from love itself - is centered solely in the body, whereas spirituality is connected to the whole self. Whether it's a female, a taste, or a sound, all these beautiful things affect our self. We are the perceivers of beauty, and that's why sex doesn't quite go far enough. You can go much further with the spiritual.
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
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

Cat Stevens
Can't keep it in, Gotta let it out.
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
I'm not the best of you, but I'm not the worst either.
Cat Stevens
Positive thoughts and prayer have been the best means available, since the beginning of time, to transform darkness to light.
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
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
Islam is not just a religion. Islam is everything.
Cat Stevens
If I make a mark in time, I can't say the mark is mine.
Cat Stevens
A person who steals bread during a famine is not treated as a thief.
Cat Stevens
My career is there for everyone to see and delve into.
Cat Stevens
Man is created to be God's deputy on earth and it is important to realize the obligation to rid ourselves of all illusions and to make our lives a preparation for the next life.
