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
Listening to something is an act of surrender.
Brian Eno
People who are very confident in themselves aren't hurt by criticism. They make use of it.
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
Nothing so dates an era as its conception of the future.
Brian Eno
Also something that you don't have to listen to from beginning to end - you can enter at any point and leave at any point.
