I prefer to shoot the arrow, then paint the target around it. You make the niches in which you finally reside.
Brian Eno
Image
Human development thus far has been fueled and guided by the feeling that things could be, and are probably going to be, better.
Brian Eno
Image
It's amazing how quickly people get used to bad quality.
Brian Eno
Image
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.

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.

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

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
Image
When I've finally got the title, I think, Okay, yes, now I know where we are. Now I know what it is. Fine, that must be finished or nearly finished.
Brian Eno
Image
I often say to people that producing is the best paid form of cowardice. When you produce things you almost always get credit, if it's a good record, but you hardly ever get the blame if it's not! You don't really take responsibility for your work.
Brian Eno
Image
It must be quite mysterious to some people why I bother to carry on. Because, you know, I don't sell that many records.
Brian Eno
Image
If I had a stock of fabulous sounds I would just always use them. I wouldn't bother to find new ones.
Brian Eno
Image
Culture is everything you don't have to do.
Brian Eno
Image
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.

The first Velvet Underground album only sold 10,000 copies, but everyone who bought it formed a band

Listening to something is an act of surrender.
Brian Eno
Image
You either believe that people respond to authority, or that they respond to kindness and inclusion. I'm obviously in the latter camp. I think that people respond better to reward than punishment.

I'm actually an evangelical atheist, but there is something I recognise about religion: that it gives people a chance to surrender.
