Neil Peart
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
But glittering prizes and endless compromises, Shatter the illusion of integrity...
Neil Peart
Image
Dedicated to the future, with honor to the past.
Neil Peart
Image
From the point of ignition. To the final drive. The point of the journey is not to arrive.
Neil Peart
Image
Half the world hates What half the world does every day Half the world waits While half gets on with it anyway
Neil Peart

Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
