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
Extroverts never understand introverts, and it was like that in school days.
Neil Peart
Geddy once joked, 'You're the only guy I know who rehearses to rehearse!
Neil Peart
I don't like lyrics that are just thrown together, that were obviously written as you went along, or the song was already written and the guy made up the lyrics in five minutes.
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
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.

Those who know what's best for us must rise and save us from ourselves.
Neil Peart

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
How can anybody be enlightened? Truth is after all so poorly lit
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
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
Let your heart be the anchor and the beat of your song.
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
From first to last, the peak is never passed. Something always fires the light that gets in your eyes.
Neil Peart
To me, the highest expression of life is art with jokes. It's very rarified, very difficult to accomplish if you want to be more than just funny, and more than just jokes about human gaseousness.
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
Dedicated to the future, with honor to the past.
Neil Peart
All this machinery making modern music can still be open-hearted. Not so boldly charted, it's really just a question of your honesty.
Neil Peart
The ones we wish could hear us have heard it all before.
