More quotes by Brian Eno
I set up situations that involve abandoning control and finding out what happens.
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 don't want to do free jazz! Because free jazz - which is the musical equivalent of free marketeering - isn't actually free at all. It's just constrained by what your muscles can do.
Brian Eno

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
Perhaps when music has been shouting for so long, a quieter voice seems attractive.
Brian Eno
I've noticed a terrible thing, which is I will agree to anything if it's far enough in the future.
Brian Eno
Good teachers realise that the students are the antenna they are sensing things that the teachers don't yet sense.
Brian Eno
Sometimes you recognize that there is a category of human experience that has not been identified but everyone knows about it. That is when I find a term to describe it.
Brian Eno
The dominant theory coming out of Hollywood is that peoples' attention spans are getting shorter and shorter and they need more stimulation.
