More quotes by Brian Eno
Feelings are more dangerous than ideas, because they aren't susceptible to rational evaluation. They grow quietly, spreading underground, and erupt suddenly, all over the place.
Brian Eno
Rationality is what we do to organize the world, to make it possible to predict. Art is the rehearsal for the inapplicability and failure of that process.
Brian Eno
The dominant theory coming out of Hollywood is that peoples' attention spans are getting shorter and shorter and they need more stimulation.
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
You can't really imagine music without technology.
Brian Eno
Repetition doesn't really exist
Brian Eno
All the best lyrics are written in ten minutes.
Brian Eno
Complexity and intelligence grow from simplicity, not from greater complexity.
Brian Eno
Don't be ashamed of your own ideas. Most musicians get applauded for sounding like someone else.
Brian Eno
Saying that cultural objects have value is like saying that telephones have conversations.
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
The basis of computer work is predicated on the idea that only the brain makes decisions and only the index finger does the work.
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'm not interested in possible complexities. I regard song structure as a graph paper.
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
My interest in making music has been to create something that does not exist that I would like to listen to. I wanted to hear music that had not yet happened, by putting together things that suggested a new thing which did not yet exist.
Brian Eno
I always use the same guitar I got this guitar years and years ago for nine pounds. It's still got the same strings on it.
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
Culture is everything you don't have to do.
Brian Eno
There is a sort of convergence starting to happen between the computer and musical instruments, but it's still quite a long way off.
