More quotes by 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
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
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.
Neil Peart
If you've got a problem, take it out on a drum.
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
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
Throw off those chains of reason and your prison disappears.
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
One likes to believe in the freedom of music...
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
Sometimes you're up against everybody in the whole world - even your friends and family are saying, You need a single. You feel sometimes incredibly alone.
Neil Peart
Adventures suck when you're having them.
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 had spindly little ankles, and growing up in Canada, I couldn't skate. I was no good at any sports so was very much a pariah through those adolescent years.
Neil Peart
Let your heart be the anchor and the beat of your song.
Neil Peart
When I'm riding my motorcycle, I'm glad to be alive. When I stop riding my motorcycle, I'm glad to be alive.
Neil Peart
Look in, look the storm in the eye. Look out, to the sea and the sky. Look around, at the sight and sound. Look in, look out, look around.
Neil Peart
More a paraphrase than a quote, really, but it comes from a prayer which was stitched into a sampler above my grandmother's bed. It began like this: 'Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep...'
Neil Peart
Extroverts never understand introverts, and it was like that in school days.
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
