More quotes by Brian Eno
Sometimes you recognize that there is a category of human experience that has not been identified but everyone knows about it. That is when I find a term to describe it.
Brian Eno
The artists of the past who impressed me were the ones who really focused their work.
Brian Eno

Brian Eno

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
Not many people bought Velvet Underground LPs, but those who did, started a band.
Brian Eno

Brian Eno
The smart thing in the art world is to have one good idea and never have another.
Brian Eno
For me it's always contingent on getting a sound-the sound always suggests what kind of melody it should be. So it's always sound first and then the line afterwards.
Brian Eno

Brian Eno
