Quote

Won't You guide me through the dark night of the soul That I may better understand Your way... Let me purify my thoughts and words and deeds That I may be a vehicle for Thee... Give me my rapture today.

I've never felt like I was born with a silver spoon at all, although I've felt like howling at the moon a lot of times!
Van Morrison

Somebody's going to hear a song that will key in a nerve or something in their experience that represents their own vision. And the next person is going to see it completely different. So even what it means to me is probably irrelevant. It's totally irrelevant. What matters is what it means to each person listening to it.

Van Morrison
Image
I'm very lucky, I'm happy with life because my experiences led me to do what I had to do. I don't have any regrets whatsoever.

I'd love to live in Ireland but I'd like to live as me, not what someone thinks I am. People don't understand - I lived there before I was famous.
Van Morrison
Image
Whether you're writing a book or a song or whatever, you've got to be involved in it. It's got to come from the heart I think...that's what it's all about.
Van Morrison

It's real difficult to pin down directions. I just want to do collaboration-tape stuff.
Van Morrison
Image
[Jazz musicians] couldn't cut rock. I had to be more limited and specific about what I was doing.
Van Morrison
Image
I haven't really heard much that's impressed me the way it was when I first heard Ray Charles or somebody like that. That was really an impression.

When I think of that dear rugged cross where the dear Saviour gave his all... When I feel like I'm on my last go round, see me through.
