Brian Eno
I've never used a PC in my life I don't like them.
Brian Eno
The point about working is not to produce great stuff all the time, but to remain ready for when you can.

Brian Eno
Perhaps when music has been shouting for so long, a quieter voice seems attractive.
Brian Eno

Brian Eno
I make a lot of pieces of music that I never release as CDs.
Brian Eno
As soon as I hear a sound, it always suggests a mood to me.
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
A culture is the sum of all the things about which humanity can choose to differ.
Brian Eno
Try to make things that can become better in other people’s minds than they were in yours.
Brian Eno
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.
