Favorite Neil Quotes

[ctbadger]

What are everyone's favorite quotes or sayings from Neil? Outside of lyrics. I have two, one that I've liked for years and one I just learned about:

 

"Adventures suck when you're having them."

 

and

 

"Don't follow anyone. Be your own hero."

[Perchance to Dream]

I am not a Satanist. Ask my mom!

[Lurkst]

"Music without an audience can be a sad thing.

Without music we'd have to get a life.

And without an audience we'd have to get a job."

 

[Test for Echo]

I love this one! "Danger plus survival equals fun"
