Pete Townshend
Man makes machines to man the machines that make the machines.
Pete Townshend
I sing my heart out to the wide open spaces I sing my heart out to the infinite sea I sing my vision to the sky-high mountains I sing my song to the free.

We are musicians, entertainers. We can do it. We have the right tools. No worries.
Pete Townshend

Pete Townshend
Give love, and keep blood between brothers
Pete Townshend

Pete Townshend
No one respects the flame quite like the fool who's badly burned
Pete Townshend
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.
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
Rough boys I wanna bite and kiss you.
Pete Townshend

Pete Townshend
