Brian Eno
A culture is the sum of all the things about which humanity can choose to differ.
Brian Eno
Even though I'm known as a pop musician, I have a seriousness about what I do.
Brian Eno
Listening to something is an act of surrender.
Brian Eno
When people censor themselves they're just as likely to get rid of the good bits as the bad bits.
Brian Eno
I have lived in countries that were coming out of conflict: Ireland, South Africa, the Czech republic. People there are overflowing with energy.
