Water

[Brian Eno]

I think one of the things that art offers you is the chance to surrender, the chance to not be in control any longer

In our culture, most of the [?] is to take control

But we like to surrender, and that's the reason we enjoy sex, drugs, art, and religion

They're really all ways of losing "me", they're ways of losing yourself

One of the things I want music to do is to offer people the chance to surrender

Everything good proceeds from enthusiasm

The-the big mistake is to wait for inspiration

It won't, it won't come looking for you

It's not so much "creating something", I think

It's noticing when something is starting to happen

I like the thrill of being somewhere where I know nobody else has been

The feeling of standing, looking at something that nobody else has ever seen before

Some people are more ready to make use of the opportunities that come up than others

Recording was a way of painting with sound

Similarly, distortion is character, basically

Perfection, to me, is character-less
