It's always a happy day when YYZ appears on our luggage tags.
Neil Peart
Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
Neil Peart
...The important thing is: if you fail once, or if your luck is bad this time, the dream is still there. A dream is only over if you give it up-or if it comes true.
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
Extroverts never understand introverts, and it was like that in school days.
Neil Peart
You can do a lot in a lifetime, if you don't burn out too fast/You can make the most of the distance/First you need endurance/First you've got to last.
Neil Peart
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.

Geddy once joked, 'You're the only guy I know who rehearses to rehearse!
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
I think everything I do has Howard Roark [hero of The Fountainhead] in it, you know, as much as anything. The person I write for is Howard Roark.
Neil Peart
Throw off those chains of reason and your prison disappears.
Neil Peart
When I was young, my ambitions were very modest. I thought, If only I could play at the battle of the bands at the Y, that would be the culmination of existence!
Neil Peart
I still totally believe in individual rights and individual responsibility and in choosing to do good.
Neil Peart
If you've got a problem, take it out on a drum.
Neil Peart
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.
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
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.
Neil Peart
Dedicated to the future, with honor to the past.
