More quotes by Brian Eno
I'm always interested in something when it isn't familiar to me.
Brian Eno
A culture is the sum of all the things about which humanity can choose to differ.
Brian Eno
At the beginning of the 20th century, the ambition of the great painters was to make paintings that were like music, which was then considered as the noblest art.
Brian Eno
If you want to make someone feel emotion, you have to make them let go. Listening to something is an act of surrender.
Brian Eno
I make a lot of pieces of music that I never release as CDs.
Brian Eno
John Cage made you realise that there wasn't a thing called noise, it was just music you hadn't appreciated.
Brian Eno
I'm very good with technology, I always have been, and with machines in general. They seem not threatening like other people find them, but a source of fun and amusement.
Brian Eno
The smart thing in the art world is to have one good idea and never have another.
Brian Eno
I believe in singing.
Brian Eno

Brian Eno
Not many people bought Velvet Underground LPs, but those who did, started a band.
Brian Eno
Art is not an object, but a trigger for experience.
Brian Eno
At the party, Rob Partridge said to me, You gave hope to other balding men. My new epitaph: Co-wrote a couple of decent songs and went bald shamelessly.
Brian Eno
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.
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
I hate talking about music, to tell you the truth.
Brian Eno
One often makes music to supplement one's world.
Brian Eno
The dominant theory coming out of Hollywood is that peoples' attention spans are getting shorter and shorter and they need more stimulation.
