The first--and only--official collection of illustrated quotes from
Rush drummer and lyricist, Neil Peart, Neil Peart: The Illustrated
Quotes pairs elegant illustrations with some of Neil's greatest remarks
to bring the poignant words of one of the world's greatest drummers to
life.
"How could anyone ever be bored in this world, when there was so much
to be interested in, to learn, to contemplate?"
Before his untimely death in 2020, Neil Peart was considered to be one
of the greatest drummers to have ever lived. As the drummer and primary
lyricist for the multi-platinum selling rock band, Rush, Neil charmed
the world with his introspective and eclectic writing. Heavily inspired
by science fiction, fantasy, philosophy, and his many cross-country
trips on his motorcycle, Neil crafted universal lyrics that encapsulated
the social and humanitarian issues of the time.
While Neil is said to have inspired famous bands--like the Foo Fighters,
Smashing Pumpkins, and Rage Against the Machine--with his lyrical chops,
he contributed far more to the world than just lyrics. Neil also penned
nine books, many that recount his trials and triumphs from decades spent
on the road, giving the world affecting, memorable thoughts about life,
loss, and inspiration.
Pairing striking black-and-white illustrations from the acclaimed
artists at Fantoons with some of the drummer's greatest quotes, Neil
Peart: The Illustrated Quotes keeps the beautiful words and musings of
Neil Peart alive.
Neil Peart: The Illustrated Quotes is the first and only Neil Peart
quotes collection authorized by Neil himself. Not only does the book
provide Rush fans--both old and new--the opportunity to dive into Neil's
inspiring messages whenever they need a pick-me-up, it also serves as a
love letter to Peart and his beautifully-crafted words that have
inspired and influenced millions around the world.
