“We've all got to earn a living. And writing songs is what I do. But when I've done a record, it's not that I think it's better or worse than anyone else's, but if I think that nobody else would have done it if I hadn't, well then that's ok.” IfsThinkingWritingWellsDoneSongRecordsWriting Songs Author:Robert Wyatt
“I'll probably lose every friend I've got, but I think the Russians are about the only people who have behaved decently in the conflict with the Ukraine. All the evidence to the contrary seems a bit bogus to me. NATO is trying to use Ukraine to isolate and cripple Russia, and that's completely crazy and very cruel. It seems to me that our side, the English and American people, really want it to go bad there. But there's no need for it to have done so. At least that's what I think. You won't hear a lot of that on Fox News.” PeopleThinkingTryingDoneCrazyConflictEvidenceNato Author:Robert Wyatt

“I would encourage people to realize that you don't have to panic if you're not part of a mainstream, or if you find yourself outside the flow. If it doesn't suit you, don't go along with it. Just sit it out and get your stuff done. Don't just sit moaning or getting drunk—I spent some years doing that. But if you can just come up with something of your own, however minor it is, that's going to be easier to live with when you're at the end of your life.” PeopleIfsYearsEndsDoneStuffRealizingEasierFlowCome UpSuitsDrunkFinding YourselfMainstreamPanicMinorsMoaningGetting DrunkSuits You Author:Robert Wyatt
