More quotes by Neil Peart
You just become adaptable and try to lead a good life in ways that make sense, regardless. Because I know at the end of it, if I'm going to meet Jesus or Allah or Buddha, I'm going to be all right.
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

It was actually drumming that gave me the stamina to get into sports later. I started playing drums at 13, and when I got to the international touring level... I got interested in cross-country skiing, long-distance swimming, bicycling... things that require stamina, not finesse.

From first to last, the peak is never passed. Something always fires the light that gets in your eyes.

I am a big fan of Dos Passos' stylistic ability, his poetic approach to prose, but the ideas presented in the songs are quite different from those which he exemplified.

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.

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.

Like a force of nature love can fade with the stars at dawn...
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 think everything I do has Howard Roark [hero of The Fountainhead] in it, you know, as much as anything. The person I write for is Howard Roark.

If you want something done right, just forget it.

The ones we wish could hear us have heard it all before.
Neil Peart
Throw off those chains of reason and your prison disappears.
Neil Peart
Dedicated to the future, with honor to the past.
Neil Peart
Better the pride that resides as a citizen of the world than a pride that divides when a colorful rag is unfurled
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 have come to believe that anger and grudges are burning embers in the heart.
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
Pure libertarianism believes that people will be generous and help each other. Well, they won't. I wish it were so, and I live that way.
