The philosophical idea that there are no more distances, that we are all just one world, that we are all brothers, is such a drag! I like differences.

More quotes by 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
If something is good, you must torture it mercilessly until it is either dead or great.
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
The basis of computer work is predicated on the idea that only the brain makes decisions and only the index finger does the work.
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
I often work by avoidance.
Brian Eno
My guitar only has five strings 'cause the top one broke and I decided not to put it back on: when I play chords I only play bar chords, and the top one always used to cut me there.
Brian Eno
I think, if you spend a day or - as many people do - a life working only with that aspect of your being, the cerebrum connected to a finger, I feel that the rest of you atrophies, essentially.
Brian Eno
I belong to a gospel choir. They know I am an atheist but they are very tolerant.
Brian Eno
Editing is now the easiest thing on earth to do, and all the things that evolved out of word processing - 'Oh, let's put that sentence there, let's get rid of this' - have become commonplace in films and music too.
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
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 that there's something that I still like about the fact of a package, like the latest report from somebody. Okay, this is what they're up to now this is what they're doing who's working with them?
Brian Eno
If you had a sign above every studio door saying ‘This Studio is a Musical Instrument’ it would make such a different approach to recording.
Brian Eno
Well, there are some things that I just can't get out of my head, and they start to annoy me after a while. Sometimes they're of my own creation, as well - and they're just as annoying. It's not only other people's ear worms that bug me, it's my own, as well.
Brian Eno
I hate the rock music tradition. I can't bear it!
Brian Eno
All cultures have these feelings about non-functional areas of activity. And the more time people have on their hands, the more they commit it to those areas.
Brian Eno
Everything is an experiment until it has a deadline. That gives it a destination, context, and a reason.
Brian Eno
I have these headphones, which pretty much exclude everything else so that you can really completely control the sound that you're hearing. I don't use them very much, I have to say. I very rarely listen on headphones.
Brian Eno
I think one of my pursuits over the years is trying to answer the question of 'what else can you do with a voice other than stand in front of a microphone and sing?'
