Entertainment came out of this thing called a television, and it was gray. Most of the films that we saw at the cinema were black and white. It was a gray world. And music somehow was in color.

More quotes by Pete Townshend
Hearing loss is a terrible thing because it cannot be repaired.
Pete Townshend
Once she woke with untamed lover's face between her legs, now he's cooled and stifled and it's she who has to beg.
Pete Townshend
I felt that the elegance of pop music was that it was reflective: we were holding up a mirror to our audience and reflecting them philosophically and spiritually, rather than just reflecting society or something called 'rock and roll.'
Pete Townshend
There's a man upon that ledge, he's only cleaning windows. What a shame for the pain we're missing. Gonna lean back on my wall and pray for him to fall.
Pete Townshend
Even as age humbles me it feeds my arrogance. There is still nothing that interests me as much as myself.
Pete Townshend
I respect those who follow religious routes only if they seem to me to be morally proper and in accord with the modern world.
Pete Townshend
The problem for me, still today, is that I write purely with one dramatic structure and that is the rite of passage. I'm not really skilled in any other. Rock and roll itself can be described as music to accompany the rite of passage.
Pete Townshend
I don't really know any other musicians like me. I grew up backstage with my dad who played in a post-war dance band, so I always feel at home at a venue.
Pete Townshend
In the midnight of a soul's unsleeping, hear the waterfall of women weeping. Hear the distant noise of traffic stalling, hear the prostituted children calling.
Pete Townshend
Punk rock was the tsunami that threatened to drown us all in 1977.
Pete Townshend
Deep inside of every human being is this feeling that nothing is ever going to be complete, that the circle will never connect - and that itself is the secret to infinity.
Pete Townshend
We are musicians, entertainers. We can do it. We have the right tools. No worries.
Pete Townshend
I'll spend my mornings at the sunshine café.
Pete Townshend
Rock is very, very important and very, very ridiculous.
Pete Townshend
The facts don't always reveal the truth, but the truth always reveals the facts.
Pete Townshend
Give love, and keep blood between brothers
Pete Townshend
Like so many addicts, I'd thought that if I could only sort out my life, I could then sort out my drinking. It was a revelation to see that it would be simpler the other way around
Pete Townshend
It's sad when people break up.
Pete Townshend
Backstage, I get sleepy, and want to curl up and snooze. I never get nervous, whatever the event. I feel quite detached until I walk on stage, and then some gear inside me clicks and off I go like a wind up doll.
Pete Townshend
I bought a Dutch barge and turned it into a recording studio. My plan was to go to Paris and record rolling down the Seine.
