Quote

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.

More quotes by Neil Peart

Lotus-land as it appears in 'Free Will' is simply a metaphor for an idealized background, a 'land of milk and honey.' It is sometimes also used as a pejorative name for Los Angeles, though that was not in my mind when I wrote it.

Dedicated to the future, with honor to the past.

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

All this machinery making modern music can still be open-hearted. Not so boldly charted, it's really just a question of your honesty.

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.

Image
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.

Don't try to change Doofus, let Doofus change you.

From the point of ignition. To the final drive. The point of the journey is not to arrive.

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

Let your heart be the anchor and the beat of your song.

A quality of justice A quantity of light A particle of mercy Makes the color of right

Throw off those chains of reason and your prison disappears.

Like a force of nature love can fade with the stars at dawn...
Neil Peart
Image
But glittering prizes and endless compromises, Shatter the illusion of integrity...
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.

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

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
