More quotes by Neil Peart
While I believe in all that freedom, I also believe that no one should suffer needlessly.
Neil Peart
The ones we wish could hear us have heard it all before.
Neil Peart
If you've got a problem, take it out on a drum.
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
Adventures suck when you're having them.
Neil Peart
Everything in moderation, with occasional excess.
Neil Peart
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.
Neil Peart
Extroverts never understand introverts, and it was like that in school days.
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
Don't try to change Doofus, let Doofus change you.
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
Waiting for the winds of change to sweep the clouds away. Waiting for the rainbow's end to cast its gold your way ... You don't get something for nothing. You can't have freedom for free
Neil Peart
For me, drum elements are like hieroglyphics - I think of a certain physical figure, and a little three-dimensional glyph will appear in my mind as I'm playing.
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
Half the world hates What half the world does every day Half the world waits While half gets on with it anyway
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
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
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
To get nostalgic about other people's music, or even about your own, makes a terrible statement about the condition of your life and your prospects for the future.
Neil Peart
As crises came up later on - Oh, we have to compromise, and the record company wants to do this, I'd be like, No, I don't have to.
Neil Peart
