Fiend Grrl EVILDRAGONs Fiance DARK PRI...'s blog: "Henry Rollins Quotes"

[as President] Ms. Spears, listen to me very carefully. If I see you within 30 meters of a stage, a microphone, or a recording studio, I'm going to send you and your entire bloodline to Luxembourg for the rest of your life. "But Mr. President, with all due respect..." Ms. Spears, now I'm going to say something to you that millions of people all over the world have wanted to say to you, but their lungs just don't have enough power to carry over the fence to get to your tiny little tin ears. Ms. Spears, SHUT THE FUCK UP! ~Henry Rollins

So you're in the Ku Klux Klan? "That's right buddy, I am." So you're one of them high-dressing fags who jumps around and kisses everybody? "OH SHIT! I QUIT!" ~Henry Rollins

What I want is 3,000 men who embody three things the Klan cannot handle: gays, Jews, blacks, and that's all you have in the Klan Chaos Disruption Team. ~Henry Rollins

If you're my age, no one's trying to sell you anything except life insurance, hardcore pharmaceutical drugs, the hole in the ground, and "The Best of Sting," and when someone comes up to you and hands you "The Best of Sting," you realize that basically, somehow you are dead. ~Henry Rollins

Men know all women are psycho bitches. Women know men are just a bunch of dumb motherfuckers. ~Henry Rollins

When life hands you a lemon, say "Oh yeah, I like lemons. What else you got?" ~Henry Rollins

Go without a coat when it's cold; find out what cold is. Go hungry; keep your existence lean. Wear away the fat, get down to the lean tissue and see what it's all about. The only time you define your character is when you go without. In times of hardship, you find out what you're made of and what you're capable of. If you're never tested, you'll never define your character. ~Henry Rollins

“The whitest white dipped in clinging dirt. Another summer has thrown its corpse on my floor. The streets have given birth to even more strangers. Rivers of urine stripe the sidewalks. It rained the other day and the only thing that occurred to me was it would wash the smell away for a few days. Tonight is the first hot night. Outside my window, the human noise factor is intense. It’s past midnight. They talk too much. They scream liquor-fueled idiot chatter. I pull away and close the door. I think about how it’s all going to play out. How much time people spend trying to get across to each other, trying to clear their names. Trying to overturn the charges brought against them. I have decided to tell them that it’s all true and not seek a fair trial. It’s the only way to be free. Stop trying to matter. I could get my body tattooed with air-colored ink and walk invisibly amongst them. I have heard people say that they felt closer to their parents after they have died. Maybe if I treat people as if they were dead, I could get along with them better. I want to be able to like living people somehow. As it is now, they’re only best coming through speakers or trapped between book covers. Here I go into the heat. Four months as a human anvil.””

“I forged myself out of a vacuum. I crawl along the highway on hacked off stumps year after year. Some wonder how and why. I never do.” ~Henry Rollins

“I walk the straight lines. I walk through the summer nights. I walk the silver rope of dreams. I walk through dawns of dawns. There’s not a lot that isn’t dying. I see people parading in front of each other like insects in a killing jar, watching each other die. I walk the straight lines throught the Christ machines. Through the eyes of throwaway people. Through the wards and the shores and the cracks in the skulls of the sidewalks. Through love’s howling vacancy. I am the freedom soil. I dig my own grave. I resurrect myself every night. I am all things to myself. I walk the straight lines. I walk the spiders’s jailhouse. I walk the think line, the thin line, the white line and all the line in between. I wish I could trade in my eyes.” ~Henry Rollins
