More quotes by 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
The problem for me, still today, is that I write purely with one dramatic structure and that is the rite of passage. I'm not really skilled in any other. Rock and roll itself can be described as music to accompany the rite of passage.
Pete Townshend
Let my love open the door To yourheart.
Pete Townshend
I don't need to fight / To prove I'm right / I don't need to be forgiven
Pete Townshend
Rough boys I wanna bite and kiss you.
Pete Townshend
Keith Moon, God rest his soul, once drove his car through the glass doors of a hotel, driving all the way up to the reception desk, got out and asked for the key to his room.
Pete Townshend

Pete Townshend
In the midnight of a soul's unsleeping, hear the waterfall of women weeping. Hear the distant noise of traffic stalling, hear the prostituted children calling.
Pete Townshend
All good art cannot help but confront denial on its way to truth.
Pete Townshend
I'M FREE! - I'm free, And freedom tastes of reality, I'm free - I'm free, An' I'm waiting for you to follow me.
Pete Townshend
I'll spend my mornings at the sunshine café.
Pete Townshend
Even as age humbles me it feeds my arrogance. There is still nothing that interests me as much as myself.
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
Rock 'n' Roll might not solve your problems, but it does let you dance all over them
Pete Townshend
Looking back, I don't know why we needed it to be quite so loud all the time.
Pete Townshend
Dance is the only thing that lets you lose yourself and find yourself at the same time.
Pete Townshend
Once she woke with untamed lover's face between her legs, now he's cooled and stifled and it's she who has to beg.
Pete Townshend
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
