We've got to fool the fools, and plan the plans. We must rule the rules, got to stand the stands.
Pete Townshend
All good art cannot help but confront denial on its way to truth.
Pete Townshend
The facts don't always reveal the truth, but the truth always reveals the facts.

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
I played the guitar for ten years before I realized it wasn't a weapon.

Pete Townshend
I know how it feels to be a woman because I am a woman. And I won't be classified as just a man.
Pete Townshend
As a young man, every bone in my body wanted to pick up a machine gun and kill Germans. And yet I had absolutely no reason to do so. Certainly nobody invited me to do the job. But that's what I felt that I was trained to do. Now no part of my upbringing was militaristic.
Pete Townshend
It's sad when people break up.
Pete Townshend
I want fast food, pretty naked girls preferably tattooed.
Pete Townshend
Is your perception of 'I Heard It Through the Grapevine' so shallow that it's violated by dancing raisins?
Pete Townshend
Beach is a place where a man can feel he's the only soul in the world that's real.
Pete Townshend
Give love, and keep blood between brothers
