Neil Peart
The measure of a life is a measure of love and respect, So hard to earn so easily burned In the fullness of time, A garden to nurture and protect It's a measure of a life The treasure of a life is a measure of love and respect, The way you live, the gifts that you give In the fullness of time, It's the only return that you expect
Neil Peart

Neil Peart
Adventures suck when you're having them.

Neil Peart
As crises came up later on - Oh, we have to compromise, and the record company wants to do this, I'd be like, No, I don't have to.
Neil Peart
I expect if you're a professional public speaker, you probably wouldn't want to go onstage and sing and play drums.
