My interest in making music has been to create something that does not exist that I would like to listen to. I wanted to hear music that had not yet happened, by putting together things that suggested a new thing which did not yet exist.

More quotes by Brian Eno
I always use the same guitar I got this guitar years and years ago for nine pounds. It's still got the same strings on it.
Brian Eno
In art, you CAN crash your plane and walk away from it
Brian Eno
Listening to something is an act of surrender.
Brian Eno

Brian Eno
Culture is everything you don't have to do.
Brian Eno
I think the idea that people walk around to music is very interesting. They are actually creating the soundtrack to their lives as they walk around to it.
Brian Eno
American television really is pathetic.

When you sing with a group of people, you learn how to subsume yourself into a group consciousness because a capella singing is all about the immersion of the self into the community. That's one of the great feelings - to stop being me for a little while and to become us. That way lies empathy, the great social virtue.
Brian Eno
All music has political dimensions because it suggests a way of being.
Brian Eno
It's amazing how quickly people get used to bad quality.
Brian Eno
Rationality is what we do to organize the world, to make it possible to predict. Art is the rehearsal for the inapplicability and failure of that process.
Brian Eno
Complexity and intelligence grow from simplicity, not from greater complexity.
Brian Eno
I had wanted a tape recorder since I was tiny. I thought it was a magic thing. I never got one until just before I went to art school.
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
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
People who are very confident in themselves aren't hurt by criticism. They make use of it.
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
A studio is an absolute labyrinth of possibilities - this is why records take so long to make because there are millions of permutations of things you can do. The most useful thing you can do is to get rid of some of those options before you start
Brian Eno
Of all the things you can now do, which do you choose to do?
Brian Eno
I've got nothing against records - I've spent my life making them - but they are a kind of historical blip.
