Respect yourself. Try to remember that not everything in life can be perfect. You will make mistakes. That's inevitable. But you are not ugly. You will only be ugly when you behave in an ugly way.

Pete Townshend
Punk rock was the tsunami that threatened to drown us all in 1977.
Pete Townshend
Give love, and keep blood between brothers
Pete Townshend
Rock is very, very important and very, very ridiculous.
Pete Townshend
It wasn't just about flashing lights and pinball machines blowing up and things like that. It was about using encores, bringing back the good songs and using techniques that I knew about from rock performance.
Pete Townshend
There's a man upon that ledge, he's only cleaning windows. What a shame for the pain we're missing. Gonna lean back on my wall and pray for him to fall.
Pete Townshend
I want fast food, pretty naked girls preferably tattooed.
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 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.
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
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
The facts don't always reveal the truth, but the truth always reveals the facts.
Pete Townshend
The fact of the matter is, I'm f**king brilliant. Not 'was' brilliant. 'Am' brilliant.
Pete Townshend
I have to say that anger is the blanket that comes around me, and that blunts and blurs my sense of proportion.
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
I'll spend my mornings at the sunshine café.
Pete Townshend
But what was interesting about what the Who did is that we took things which were happening in the pop genre and represent them to people so that they see them in a new way. I think the best example is Andy Warhol's work, the image of Marilyn Monroe or the Campbell's soup can.
Pete Townshend
I see a boy with his mother's ambition, performing for love, trained in submission.
Pete Townshend
Enjoy life. And be careful what you pray for - remember, you will get it all.
Pete Townshend
The Who got paid 4000 pounds during those days, but we always smashed our equipment that cost more than 5000 pounds.
