More quotes by Brian Eno
Saying that cultural objects have value is like saying that telephones have conversations.
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
A culture is the sum of all the things about which humanity can choose to differ.
Brian Eno
When you sing with a group of people, you learn how to subsume yourself into a group consciousness because a capella singing is all about the immersion of the self into the community. That's one of the great feelings - to stop being me for a little while and to become us. That way lies empathy, the great social virtue.
Brian Eno
I'm bloody awful at multi-tasking.
Brian Eno
I often say to people that producing is the best paid form of cowardice. When you produce things you almost always get credit, if it's a good record, but you hardly ever get the blame if it's not! You don't really take responsibility for your work.
Brian Eno
I love the sort of ambivalence of this, the ambiguity of something - being, for instance, in a quite busy Mexican restaurant with one of these very gentle tracks playing I remember as being particularly nice.
Brian Eno
If you've spent a long time developing a skill and techniques, and now some 14 year-old upstart can get exactly the same result, you might feel a bit miffed I suppose, but that has happened forever.
Brian Eno
I believe that singing is the key to long life, a good figure, a stable temperament, increased intelligence, new friends, super self-confidence , heightened sexual attractiveness, and a better sense of humor.
Brian Eno
I set up situations that involve abandoning control and finding out what happens.
Brian Eno
It's amazing how quickly people get used to bad quality.
Brian Eno
In my normal life I'm a very unadventurous person.
Brian Eno
Anything popular is populist, and populist is rarely a good adjective.
Brian Eno
You either believe that people respond to authority, or that they respond to kindness and inclusion. I'm obviously in the latter camp. I think that people respond better to reward than punishment.
Brian Eno
I want to make things that put me in the position of innocence, that recreate the feeling of innocence in you.
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
Listening to something is an act of surrender.
Brian Eno
I believe in singing.
Brian Eno
Everybody thinks that when new technologies come along that they're transparent and you can just do your job well on it. But technologies always import a whole new set of values with them.
Brian Eno
You can't really imagine music without technology.
Brian Eno
