Neil Peart
But glittering prizes and endless compromises, Shatter the illusion of integrity...
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
I still totally believe in individual rights and individual responsibility and in choosing to do good.
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
