More quotes by Brian Eno

Brian Eno
You shoot your arrow and then you paint your bulls eye around it, and therefore you have hit the target dead centre.
Brian Eno
Of all the things you can now do, which do you choose to do?
Brian Eno
When I've finally got the title, I think, Okay, yes, now I know where we are. Now I know what it is. Fine, that must be finished or nearly finished.
Brian Eno
One often makes music to supplement one's world.
Brian Eno
People who are very confident in themselves aren't hurt by criticism. They make use of it.
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.
