Brian Eno
One of the things you're doing when you make art, apart from entertaining yourself and other people, is trying to see what ways of working feel good, what feels right.
Brian Eno
Genius is individual, scenius is communal.
Brian Eno

Brian Eno
I think we're about ready for a new feeling to enter music. I think that will come from the Arabic world.
Brian Eno
