Life is too short not to create something with every breath we draw.
Maynard James Keenan
I believe that when you go into a gallery or a museum, the most powerful pieces are the ones that don't have the words in the corner that distract you from the larger piece.
Maynard James Keenan
We are eternal. All this pain is an illusion.
Maynard James Keenan
All I can do is say I smell a rat. I don't know where it is or what kind of rat it is, but as an artist, I can express how. But I couldn't responsibly stand up and tell people which way to go, because then I'm just as guilty as the people who are telling everybody else what to do and where to go.
Maynard James Keenan
If you want to get your soul to heaven, trust in me. Don't judge or question. You are broken now, but faith can heal you. Just do everything I tell you to do.
Maynard James Keenan

Maynard James Keenan
If the education of our kids comes from radio, television, newspapers - if that's where they get most of their knowledge from, and not from the schools, then the powers that be are definitely in charge, because they own all those outlets.
Maynard James Keenan
I just hope that our fans are people who are inspired by music, and just use our music as a background or inspiration for whatever it is they do.
Maynard James Keenan
Actors have these delicate appendages called Egos.
Maynard James Keenan
I think everything Joni Mitchell did for music was big.
Maynard James Keenan
Cold silence has a tendency to atrophy any sense of compassion between supposed lovers
Maynard James Keenan
It's a purging of sorts. Like, when you're all done doing your laundry and it's fresh and bright, but washing the clothes, you wouldn't want to get in while it's spinning around.
Maynard James Keenan
Knuckle deep inside the borderline. This may hurt a little but it's something you'll get used to. Relax. Slip away.
Maynard James Keenan
Jesus Christ, why dont you come save my life. Open my eyes and blind me with your light and your lies.
Maynard James Keenan
