David Byrne
Schools are for training people how to listen to other people.
David Byrne
The more you know, the more you know you don't know and the more you know that you don't know.

David Byrne
You create a community with music, not just at concerts but by talking about it with your friends.
David Byrne

David Byrne
On a bike, being just slightly above pedestrian and car eye level, one gets a perfect view of the goings-on in one's own town.
