More quotes by Neil Peart
Everything in moderation, with occasional excess.
Neil Peart
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
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.
Neil Peart
The ones we wish could hear us have heard it all before.
Neil Peart
I still totally believe in individual rights and individual responsibility and in choosing to do good.
Neil Peart
How can anybody be enlightened? Truth is after all so poorly lit
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
From the point of ignition. To the final drive. The point of the journey is not to arrive.
Neil Peart
Better the pride that resides as a citizen of the world than a pride that divides when a colorful rag is unfurled
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
I am a big fan of Dos Passos' stylistic ability, his poetic approach to prose, but the ideas presented in the songs are quite different from those which he exemplified.
Neil Peart
Throw off those chains of reason and your prison disappears.
Neil Peart
Playing a three-hour Rush show is like running a marathon while solving equations.
Neil Peart
Adventures suck when you're having them.
Neil Peart
We're only immortal for a limited time.
Neil Peart
But glittering prizes and endless compromises, Shatter the illusion of integrity...
Neil Peart
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
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
Living in the limelight: the universal dream for those who wish to SEEM. Those who wish to BE, must put aside the alienation, get on with the fascination, the real relation, the underlying theme.
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
