More quotes by Cat Stevens
Rather than go to a demonstration to burn an effigy of the author Salman Rushdie, I would have hoped that it'd be the real thing.
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
There is a social need within our lives as human beings to have harmony.

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
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'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
They have hijacked my religion.
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.
Cat Stevens
At Jerusalem, I went to the mosque and sat down. A man asked me what I wanted. I told him I was a Muslim. Now I realize I can get direct contact with God, unlike Christianity or any other religion.
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.
Cat Stevens
It's hard to get by just upon a smile.
Cat Stevens
If I make a mark in time, I can't say the mark is mine.
