More quotes by Neil Peart
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.
Neil Peart
All this machinery making modern music can still be open-hearted. Not so boldly charted, it's really just a question of your honesty.
Neil Peart
Everything in moderation, with occasional excess.
Neil Peart
You just become adaptable and try to lead a good life in ways that make sense, regardless. Because I know at the end of it, if I'm going to meet Jesus or Allah or Buddha, I'm going to be all right.
Neil Peart
You can surrender without a prayer, but never really pray without surrender. You can fight without ever winning, but never ever win without a fight.
Neil Peart
Half the world hates What half the world does every day Half the world waits While half gets on with it anyway
Neil Peart

Neil Peart
Innocence gave me confidence to go up against reality.
Neil Peart
Don't try to change Doofus, let Doofus change you.
Neil Peart

Neil Peart
I want to be an improviser, and I've worked very hard at that. It's an art. You don't just play whatever comes into your head you have to be very deliberate about what you do.
Neil Peart
From the point of ignition. To the final drive. The point of the journey is not to arrive.
Neil Peart
A quality of justice A quantity of light A particle of mercy Makes the color of right
Neil Peart
To get nostalgic about other people's music, or even about your own, makes a terrible statement about the condition of your life and your prospects for the future.
Neil Peart
Could hell be a place where there is no self-respect? A place where people have no pride in their own existence or behavior, and thus would have none for anyone or anything else?
Neil Peart
Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
Neil Peart
Live for yourself... there's no one else more worth living for...
Neil Peart
Playing a three-hour Rush show is like running a marathon while solving equations.
Neil Peart
The tarot card 'The Tower' seemed a chilling reflection of the events of September 11, 2001.
Neil Peart
We're only immortal for a limited time.
