More quotes by Brian Eno
When you make something you are always offering some choices and denying others.
Brian Eno
American television really is pathetic.
Brian Eno
I love the sort of ambivalence of this, the ambiguity of something - being, for instance, in a quite busy Mexican restaurant with one of these very gentle tracks playing I remember as being particularly nice.
Brian Eno
With all fashion, what we do is play at being somebody else. We play at inhabiting another kind of world.
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
If there is a new fascism, it won't come from skinheads and punks it will come from people who eat granola and think they know how the world should be.
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
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
I want to make things that put me in the position of innocence, that recreate the feeling of innocence in you.
Brian Eno
Music in itself carries a whole set of messages which are very, very rich and complex, and the words either serve to exclude certain ones or point up certain others.
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
If I had a stock of fabulous sounds I would just always use them. I wouldn't bother to find new ones.
Brian Eno
I prefer to shoot the arrow, then paint the target around it. You make the niches in which you finally reside.
Brian Eno
I suppose I am reluctant about being any sort of 'star' and I didn't particularly want to be portrayed as one.
Brian Eno
Whatever you now find weird, ugly, uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium will surely become its signature... The excitement of grainy film, of bleached-out black and white, is the excitement of witnessing events too momentous for the medium assigned to record them.
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
I have a definite talent for convincing people to try something new. I am a good salesman. When I'm on form, I can sell anything.
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
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.
