Eddie Vedder Art Quotations

Though some may think there should be a separation between art/music and politics, it should be reinforced that art can be a form of nonviolent protest.

You can go down the list of great artists and kind of understand that they are products of their environment. Whether it's U2 or Henry Rollins or myself or Johnny Lydon, they're gonna be products of their environment.

It's an art to live with pain... mix the light into gray.

I think music is the greatest art form that exists, and I think people listen to music for different reasons, and it serves different purposes. Some of it is background music, and some of it is things that might affect a person's day, if not their life, or change an attitude. The best songs are the ones that make you feel something.

It's an art to live with pain... mix the light in into grey."--Love Boat Captain--
