More quotes by Neil Peart

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
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
One likes to believe in the freedom of music...
Neil Peart

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
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
I expect if you're a professional public speaker, you probably wouldn't want to go onstage and sing and play drums.
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
Playing a three-hour Rush show is like running a marathon while solving equations.
Neil Peart
From the point of ignition. To the final drive. The point of the journey is not to arrive.
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
All four winds together can't bring the world to me Shadows cast a play of light, so much I want to see Chase the sun around the world, I want to look at life-In the Available Light. I'll go with the wind, I'll stand in the light.
Neil Peart
How can anybody be enlightened? Truth is after all so poorly lit
Neil Peart
I still totally believe in individual rights and individual responsibility and in choosing to do good.
Neil Peart
Everything in moderation, with occasional excess.
Neil Peart
While I believe in all that freedom, I also believe that no one should suffer needlessly.
Neil Peart
Dedicated to the future, with honor to the past.
Neil Peart
From first to last, the peak is never passed. Something always fires the light that gets in your eyes.
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
