More quotes by 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.
Brian Eno
The first Velvet Underground album only sold 10,000 copies, but everyone who bought it formed a band
Brian Eno
I set up situations that involve abandoning control and finding out what happens.
Brian Eno
The whole history of pop music had rested on the first person singular, with occasional intrusions of the second person singular.
Brian Eno
If you've spent a long time developing a skill and techniques, and now some 14 year-old upstart can get exactly the same result, you might feel a bit miffed I suppose, but that has happened forever.
Brian Eno
Well, I am a dilettante. It's only in England that dilettantism is considered a bad thing. In other countries it's called interdisciplinary research.
Brian Eno
As struggles go, being an artist isn't that much of one.
Brian Eno
In the wake of the events of 11 September 2001, it now seems clear that the shock of the attacks was exploited in America.
Brian Eno
I love the sort of ambivalence of this, the ambiguity of something - being, for instance, in a quite busy Mexican restaurant with one of these very gentle tracks playing I remember as being particularly nice.
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
You shoot your arrow and then you paint your bulls eye around it, and therefore you have hit the target dead centre.
Brian Eno
Everybody thinks that when new technologies come along that they're transparent and you can just do your job well on it. But technologies always import a whole new set of values with them.
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
Culture is everything you don't have to do.
Brian Eno
Repetition doesn't really exist
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
In the 19th century, a lot of people were against outlawing child labour, because to do so would be against the very foundations of a free market economy: 'These children want to work, these people want to employ them... what is your problem? It's not as if anyone has kidnapped them...'
Brian Eno
Whenever you listen to a piece of music, what you are actually doing is hearing the latest sentence in a very long story you’ve been listening to - all the pieces of music you’ve ever heard.
Brian Eno
The reason conservatives cohere and radicals fight: everyone agrees about fears, no one about visions.
Brian Eno
I'm actually an evangelical atheist, but there is something I recognise about religion: that it gives people a chance to surrender.
