Howard Roark stood as a role model for me - as exactly the way I already was living. Even at that tender age [18] I already felt that. And it was intuitive or instinctive or inbred stubbornness or whatever but I had already made those choices and suffered for them.

Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep.

Like a force of nature love can fade with the stars at dawn...

Half the world hates What half the world does every day Half the world waits While half gets on with it anyway

Better the pride that resides as a citizen of the world than a pride that divides when a colorful rag is unfurled

I'm a linear thinking agnostic, but not an atheist folks.
Neil Peart
Image
Pure libertarianism believes that people will be generous and help each other. Well, they won't. I wish it were so, and I live that way.

Lotus-land as it appears in 'Free Will' is simply a metaphor for an idealized background, a 'land of milk and honey.' It is sometimes also used as a pejorative name for Los Angeles, though that was not in my mind when I wrote it.

Extroverts never understand introverts, and it was like that in school days.

Image
Performing live in front of an audience is such a matter of will - all of those things you can do just fine in your basement, suddenly you have to do them in front of hundreds or thousands of people, and it becomes a different matter entirely.
Neil Peart
Image
I'm less comfortable in a gregarious social situation, and you can be introverted and still share everything. It just means that you're guarded.

Image
From first to last, the peak is never passed. Something always fires the light that gets in your eyes.

The Seven Cities of Gold always fascinated me. Southwestern U.S. history especially fascinates me. The whole spur of the Spanish exploration of the Southwestern U.S. was the search for these mythical Seven Cities of Gold.

Waiting for the winds of change to sweep the clouds away. Waiting for the rainbow's end to cast its gold your way ... You don't get something for nothing. You can't have freedom for free
Neil Peart

One likes to believe in the freedom of music...

Live for yourself... there's no one else more worth living for...

Lessons taught but never learned, all around us anger burns. Guide the future by the past. Long ago the mould was cast.

Throw off those chains of reason and your prison disappears.

There's a new reality born every minute. Unless one is a believer in predestination (in which case I'll call the prestidigitator), or other puppet-like restraints on our powers, one is free to imagine and effect changes on the world. And if enough people do it, there are big changes. These things happen. Anything can.

It was actually drumming that gave me the stamina to get into sports later. I started playing drums at 13, and when I got to the international touring level... I got interested in cross-country skiing, long-distance swimming, bicycling... things that require stamina, not finesse.
