More quotes by Pete Townshend
All good art cannot help but confront denial on its way to truth.
Pete Townshend
When I grew up, what was interesting for me was that music was color and life was gray. So music for me has always been more than entertainment.
Pete Townshend
When people keep repeating That you'll never fall in love When everybody keeps retreating But you can't seem to get enough Let my love open the door Let my love open the door Let my love open the door To your heart.
Pete Townshend
Although I was well past my teenage troubles, our music was specifically designed to lubricate the passage from adolescence to adulthood.
Pete Townshend
We've got to fool the fools, and plan the plans. We must rule the rules, got to stand the stands.
Pete Townshend
Everything that has befallen you happened simply cause it crossed your mind.
Pete Townshend
If I told you what it takes to reach the highest high you'd laugh and say nothing that simple, but you've been told many times before messiah's point you to the door though no one's got the guts to leave the temple.
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
The circling horse was an oblique warning that i would repeat the same mistake eternally. Would the law of averages allow it? Can anything continue without change? Nothing else in nature behaves so consistently and rigidly as a human being in pursuit of hell.
Pete Townshend
What theatre started to look at much earlier than any other form was the internal operations of ordinary people, sometimes using mythic models in order to tell the story.
Pete Townshend
It makes me angry when people insist that I have a responsibility to do what they think I should do.
Pete Townshend
People try to put us down (Talkin' 'bout my generation) Just because we get around (Talkin' 'bout my generation) Things they do look awful c-c-cold (Talkin' 'bout my generation) Hope I die before I get old.
Pete Townshend
I'll spend my mornings at the sunshine café.
Pete Townshend
Early British pop was helped tremendously by the writing of Bob Dylan who had proved you could write about political and quite controversial subjects. Certainly what we did followed on from what was happening with the angry young men in the theatre.
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
Hearing loss is a terrible thing because it cannot be repaired.
Pete Townshend
I have terrible hearing trouble. I have unwittingly helped to invent and refine a type of music that makes its principal proponents deaf.
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
I see a boy with his mother's ambition, performing for love, trained in submission.
Pete Townshend
It's sad when people break up.
