More quotes by Pete Townshend
Rock is very, very important and very, very ridiculous.
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
We have to focus on his early work, and just one or two of his movies, and elements of his TV shows, to keep his memory pure. People now know that Elvis could play a mean rhythm guitar himself, and needed no other musicians to perform a great song. But Elvis was not just a rock star, he was an all-round entertainer.
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.
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

Pete Townshend
I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth.
Pete Townshend

Pete Townshend

Pete Townshend
It's sad when people break up.
Pete Townshend
Beach is a place where a man can feel he's the only soul in the world that's real.
Pete Townshend
The fact of the matter is, I'm f**king brilliant. Not 'was' brilliant. 'Am' brilliant.
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
I'll spend my mornings at the sunshine café.
Pete Townshend
Nothing else in nature behaves so consistently and rigidly as a human being in pursuit of hell.
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 no easy way to be free.
Pete Townshend
I don't need to fight / To prove I'm right / I don't need to be forgiven
Pete Townshend
It makes me angry when people insist that I have a responsibility to do what they think I should do.
Pete Townshend
Everything that has befallen you happened simply cause it crossed your mind.
