Maybe I'm ego-tripping, but I don't find myself a particularly horrible person, so I don't think I need to hold back anything I think or feel.

More quotes by Henry Rollins
Citizens United didn't work. Hey, Koch brothers, Karl Rove, Shellgame Adelson: Democracy trumps money sometimes.
Henry Rollins
The streets lie, the sidewalks lie, everything lies You can try and read it but you're gonna get it wrong...all wrong The summer evenings burn and melt and the nights glitter but you're gonna get it wrong And it's gonna sink its teeth into your flesh and pull you to the bottom.
Henry Rollins
I have built my life to pursue the new. I don't have family, don't know many people and I am usually ready to leave within an hour.
Henry Rollins
Could it be that violence is as much a part of the American identity as the Constitution, and a vital component to its economic stability?
Henry Rollins
While I disagree with our presence in Iraq and Afghanistan, I have nothing but respect and admiration for the men and women deployed in these places.
Henry Rollins
Books are cool, but knowledge without mileage doesn't mean anything to me.
Henry Rollins
I think that humans have a huge capacity to carry pain and sadness. There are things that haunt us our entire lives we are unable to let them go. The good times seem almost effervescent and dreamlike in comparison with the times that didn't go so well.
Henry Rollins
The easy solution isn't the solution, it's the problem.
Henry Rollins
Songs sung under duress are often very powerful.
Henry Rollins
I believe that capitalism, at least how it's used by major corporations, and environmental concerns are in opposition. To be ecologically aware, productivity of many things would slow down at least for awhile. Stockholders don't want to hear about the saving of the whales or some stream in Kentucky. They want a return on their investment.
Henry Rollins
Being an artist is dragging your innermost feelings out, giving a piece of yourself, no matter in which art form, in which medium.
Henry Rollins
What I'm saying is America has a job deficit because hundreds of thousands of jobs went elsewhere. Not because [Barack] Obama raised your taxes. He, in fact, lowered them. They are lower.
Henry Rollins
August, the summer's last messenger of misery, is a hollow actor.
Henry Rollins
I am a white guy in America with an education, albeit high school, but a pretty good one. Another guy from a different demographic or different ethnicity in America can look at me and say, You take a lot for granted. Well... okay. I just live in a white male American reality, where I hear you but I don't know if I necessarily read you.
Henry Rollins
Literally thousands of lawsuits have been filed against the NFL by retired players, many of whom say that information on brain injury in football was withheld from them.
Henry Rollins
I got three letters today telling me that I'm god. Why can't I pay the rent?
Henry Rollins
I have been an XL fan of Devo since I was in high school in the 1970s. Their records only sound better with time.
Henry Rollins
As far as poetry, I don't know if I've ever written any. I've read a lot. I just write and it comes out in different forms and shapes. I don't know if I'm any good at it I just really go for it and I'm very prolific book wise only because I own the company. No one tells me 'no' around here.
Henry Rollins
A country that has been through as much as Vietnam has to have some crazy music somewhere.
Henry Rollins
When you see the Escalades and the Hummers driving down the street, at least in Los Angeles, this dry, flat desert with shopping malls, when you see someone driving one of those through this you're like, 'You are definitely part of the problem.'
Henry Rollins
