More quotes by Brian Eno
The point about working is not to produce great stuff all the time, but to remain ready for when you can.
Brian Eno

Brian Eno
The problem with computers is that there is not enough Africa in them.
Brian Eno
Nothing so dates an era as its conception of the future.
Brian Eno
Even though I'm known as a pop musician, I have a seriousness about what I do.
Brian Eno

Brian Eno
I don't want to do free jazz! Because free jazz - which is the musical equivalent of free marketeering - isn't actually free at all. It's just constrained by what your muscles can do.
Brian Eno
The reason conservatives cohere and radicals fight: everyone agrees about fears, no one about visions.
Brian Eno

Brian Eno
Attention is what creates value. Artworks are made as well by how people interact with them - and therefore by what quality of interaction they can inspire.
Brian Eno
Listening to something is an act of surrender.
Brian Eno
When you make something you are always offering some choices and denying others.
Brian Eno
A studio is an absolute labyrinth of possibilities - this is why records take so long to make because there are millions of permutations of things you can do. The most useful thing you can do is to get rid of some of those options before you start
Brian Eno
If something is good, you must torture it mercilessly until it is either dead or great.
Brian Eno
I don't live in the past at all I'm always wanting to do something new. I make a point of constantly trying to forget and get things out of my mind.
Brian Eno
I thought it was magic to be able to catch something identically on tape and then be able to play around with it, run it backwards I thought that was great for years.
Brian Eno
Most game music is based on loops effectively.
Brian Eno
Don't be ashamed of your own ideas. Most musicians get applauded for sounding like someone else.
Brian Eno
All cultures have these feelings about non-functional areas of activity. And the more time people have on their hands, the more they commit it to those areas.
Brian Eno
