More quotes by 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

Brian Eno
All the best lyrics are written in ten minutes.
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
I'm bloody awful at multi-tasking.
Brian Eno
Most of those melodies are me trying to find out what notes fit, and then hitting ones that don't fit in a very interesting way.
Brian Eno

Brian Eno

Brian Eno

Brian Eno

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
The most important thing in a piece of music is to seduce people to the point where they start searching.
Brian Eno
I'm kind of an evangelical atheist.
Brian Eno
People do dismiss ambient music, don't they? They call it 'easy listening,' as if to suggest that it should be hard to listen to.
Brian Eno
It must be quite mysterious to some people why I bother to carry on. Because, you know, I don't sell that many records.
