That's why people listen to music or look at paintings. To get in touch with that wholeness.
Corita Kent

Music is part of God's universe.
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

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

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

Alas! all music jars when the soul's out of tune.
Miguel De Cervantes

The dance can reveal everything mysterious that is hidden in music, and it has the additional merit of being human and palpable. Dancing is poetry with arms and legs.
Charles Baudelaire

I love Wagner, but the music I prefer is that of a cat hung up by its tail outside a window and trying to stick to the panes of glass with its claws.
Charles Baudelaire

Music fathoms the sky.
Charles Baudelaire

Music is spiritual. The music business is not.
Van Morrison

I do see value in music criticism. Most of the criticism I have received over the years has been very good.
Van Morrison

I don't feel comfortable doing interviews. My profession is music, and writing songs. That's what I do. I like to do it, but I hate to talk about it.
Van Morrison

I think Paul McGuinness and U2 created the Irish music industry. It certainly wasn't there before that.
Van Morrison

Even today, skiffle is a defining part of my music. If I get the opportunity to just have a jam, skiffle is what I love to play.
Van Morrison

The first piece of music that captured my imagination was probably Ray Charles Live At Newport.
Van Morrison

Skiffle was a name that was attached to what was, in essence, American folk music with a beat.
Van Morrison

As a developing musician, skiffle became a platform for me to start playing music.
Van Morrison

Music is the universal language of mankind.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

When she had passed, it seemed like the ceasing of exquisite music.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

The thing about my music is, there really is no point.
Neil Young
