Pete Townshend
Keith Moon, God rest his soul, once drove his car through the glass doors of a hotel, driving all the way up to the reception desk, got out and asked for the key to his room.
Pete Townshend

Pete Townshend
Everything that has befallen you happened simply cause it crossed your mind.
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
All good art cannot help but confront denial on its way to truth.
Pete Townshend
