BRIAN ENO

Inside Thinking Work

Oh, no, I can’t I’m just fed up with that.

I always use the same guitar; I got this guitar years and years ago for nine pounds. It’s still got the same strings on it.
BRIAN ENO

Guitar Pounds Years
Something I’ve realized lately, to my shock, is that I am an optimist, in that I think humans are almost infinitely capable of self-change and self-modification, and that we really can build the future that we want if we’re smart about it.
BRIAN ENO

Human Self Smart Thinking
I belong to a gospel choir. They know I am an atheist but they are very tolerant.
