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.

More quotes by Neil Peart
While I believe in all that freedom, I also believe that no one should suffer needlessly.
Neil Peart
Playing a three-hour Rush show is like running a marathon while solving equations.
Neil Peart
I still totally believe in individual rights and individual responsibility and in choosing to do good.
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
From first to last, the peak is never passed. Something always fires the light that gets in your eyes.
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
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
From the point of ignition. To the final drive. The point of the journey is not to arrive.
Neil Peart
Extroverts never understand introverts, and it was like that in school days.
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.
Neil Peart
Ever since I was a kid, I always wanted to play music that I liked, and even when I was in cover bands when I was a teenager we only played cover tunes that we liked. That was the simple morality that I grew up with.
Neil Peart
Live for yourself... there's no one else more worth living for...
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
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
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
Lessons taught but never learned, all around us anger burns. Guide the future by the past. Long ago the mould was cast.
Neil Peart
I expect if you're a professional public speaker, you probably wouldn't want to go onstage and sing and play drums.
Neil Peart
Dedicated to the future, with honor to the past.
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
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.
