More quotes by Brian Eno

Brian Eno
I can see the use and value of religion, just as I can see the use of mud wrestling, yoga, astronomy and sadomasochism. but I reject the idea that you can't be a deep human being without it or any of them.
Brian Eno
I think most artists would be happy to have bigger audiences rather than smaller ones. It doesn't mean that they are going to change their work in order necessarily to get it, but they're happy if they do get it.
Brian Eno

Brian Eno
A lot of the so-called systems composers have this thing that the system is always right. You don't fiddle with it at all. Well, I don't think that. I think the system is as right as you judge it to be. If for some reason you don't like a bit of it you must trust your intuition on that. I don't take a doctrinaire approach to systems.
Brian Eno
Even though I'm known as a pop musician, I have a seriousness about what I do.
Brian Eno
I take sounds and change them into words.
Brian Eno
Complexity and intelligence grow from simplicity, not from greater complexity.
Brian Eno
I've got nothing against records - I've spent my life making them - but they are a kind of historical blip.
Brian Eno
I'm fascinated by musicians who don't completely understand their territory that's when you do your best work.
Brian Eno
The point about melody and beat and lyric is that they exist to engage you in a very particular way. They want to occupy your attention.
Brian Eno
When people censor themselves they're just as likely to get rid of the good bits as the bad bits.
