More quotes by 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
Genius is individual, scenius is communal.
Brian Eno
Everybody thinks that when new technologies come along that they're transparent and you can just do your job well on it. But technologies always import a whole new set of values with them.
Brian Eno
Everything is an experiment until it has a deadline. That gives it a destination, context, and a reason.
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
Culture is everything you don't have to do.
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

Brian Eno
Even though I'm known as a pop musician, I have a seriousness about what I do.
Brian Eno
Every collaboration helps you grow. With Bowie, it's different every time. I know how to create settings, unusual aural environments. That inspires him. He's very quick.
Brian Eno
I believe that singing is the key to long life, a good figure, a stable temperament, increased intelligence, new friends, super self-confidence , heightened sexual attractiveness, and a better sense of humor.
Brian Eno
Honor thy error as a hidden intention.
Brian Eno
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
What happens with notation is that it reduces things to a language which isn't necessarily appropriate to them. In the same way that words do, you get a much cruder version of what was actually intended.
Brian Eno
Anything popular is populist, and populist is rarely a good adjective.
Brian Eno
