Brian Eno
One often makes music to supplement one's world.
Brian Eno

Brian Eno
Nothing so dates an era as its conception of the future.
Brian Eno

Brian Eno
A culture is the sum of all the things about which humanity can choose to differ.
Brian Eno
The tools are evolving, and people's interests are evolving as well. So, suddenly people like to hear bands, people like Devendra Banhart or the xx, bands that make a kind of virtue of sloppiness. That isn't what they would describe what they're doing, but the fact is they make a virtue of the sort of hand-made nature of what they're doing.
Brian Eno
I see TV as a picture medium rather than a narrative medium.
Brian Eno
Human development thus far has been fueled and guided by the feeling that things could be, and are probably going to be, better.
