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
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.

When I'm riding my motorcycle, I'm glad to be alive. When I stop riding my motorcycle, I'm glad to be alive.
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
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.

Live for yourself... there's no one else more worth living for...
