More quotes by Brian Eno

Brian Eno

Brian Eno

Brian Eno
The most important thing in a piece of music is to seduce people to the point where they start searching.
Brian Eno
You just make different music on a computer. And you can make wonderful music on a computer, but don't pretend that the machinery is transparent. It makes as much difference to what you're doing as it does if you play an acoustic guitar as opposed to a kettledrum. You're not going to make the same music.
Brian Eno
Art is not an object, but a trigger for experience.
Brian Eno
I hate talking about music, to tell you the truth.
Brian Eno
I'm bloody awful at multi-tasking.
Brian Eno
Not many people bought Velvet Underground LPs, but those who did, started a band.
Brian Eno
Human development thus far has been fueled and guided by the feeling that things could be, and are probably going to be, better.
