More quotes by Van Morrison
I had my eyes closed in the dark, I sighed a million sighs, I told a million lies, to myself, to myself.
Van Morrison
Someone once described me as a maverick and that's what I would say. I'm a maverick not by choice but by conviction.
Van Morrison
My thinking musically has always been more advanced - it is difficult to get it down onto paper sometimes, even now.
Van Morrison
The idea [of A Period of Transition album] was to get a break from everything for a while because I've been doing it for so long. I started doing it when I was 12.
Van Morrison
I just like any music to swing, no matter what it is.
Van Morrison
Rock is gut level and it just gets to people. I think there's far too much emphasis on intellectualization, especially in rock 'n' roll which is a primitive form.
Van Morrison
I'm a dweller of the threshold and I'm waiting at the door, and I'm standing in the darkness, I don't want to wait no more.
Van Morrison
Hearing the blues changed my life.
Van Morrison
I'd come to the point where I wasn't really putting out creatively. I didn't seem to have anything to say in that period of time after the '74 tour. There was nothing definite that I wanted to record.
Van Morrison

Van Morrison
If you live the life you love, you get the blessing from above.
Van Morrison
Way across the country where the hillside mountains glide, the dynamo of your smile caressed the barefoot virgin child.
Van Morrison
I wrote a couple of songs that had gypsy references in them. The only reason it happened was because that's what was coming through and I liked the idea at that period of time. But that doesn't mean that it's a myth or that I'm a gypsy. It's gotten totally out of context.
Van Morrison
Leave your thoughtlessness behind you then you may begin to understand. Clear the emptiness around you with the waving of your hand.
Van Morrison
These days politics, religion, media seem to get all mixed up. Television became the new religion a long time back and the media has taken over.
Van Morrison
Sometimes, when the spirit moves me I can do many wondrous things I wanna know when the spirit moves you Did ye get healed?
Van Morrison
I just can't stand jazz/rock. I think it's the worst thing that's come down the river yet.
Van Morrison
Men come, men go, all things remain in God.
Van Morrison
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
