More quotes by Henry Rollins
My desires are foolish. The things I want are better kept to myself. The hand of silence is steady. The hard blade of silence is clean like night. The code is absolute. Silence is eternal and patient. Silence never makes a fool of itself like I have so many times.
Henry Rollins
Help me to withstand your beauty as it stands out of reach. Give me the capacity to forget ever having felt your touch.
Henry Rollins
I'm not a thrill seeker. I'm not looking to get kidnapped. I'm not looking to get a shot at. I've been shot at. I didn't like it.
Henry Rollins
While I have no empirical evidence to back this up, I bet that the number of homosexual people per thousand has not fluctuated all that much over the centuries. I do not believe the dented wisdom my father used to extol, that homosexuality was a sure sign of a civilization in decline.
Henry Rollins
When the Iron doesn't want to come off the mat, it's the kindest thing it can do for you. If it flew up and went through the ceiling, it wouldn't teach you anything.
Henry Rollins
I'm usually busy - if you call me at the house, I get about four phone calls there a year - I'm usually running around the house with a pen in my mouth holding onto something, folding it, or doing something to it, and it's always a bad time.
Henry Rollins
I'm of the opinion that the Democrats have the ideas I agree with more often than not. Reenergizing the middle class and giving people a break.
Henry Rollins
Michele Bachmann is always a great person to go to for an opinion about anything. She has a very active and interesting mind.
Henry Rollins
To justify being listened to, I try to be as well informed as I can. Hence, the travel. Reading is good too. Reading gets you part way there, and I do read pretty voraciously for a guy who's trying to write so much.
Henry Rollins
While I have not ruled out the possibility of doing music, what I don't want to do is go onstage and perform old songs. I do, all the time, but I don't think it is artistically brave.
Henry Rollins
I don't wish to be anything more or less than what I am. If this is how it is, then so be it.
Henry Rollins
While they flail about, you will remain calm in the knowledge that you possess strength from within.
Henry Rollins
The Ruts were a great punk rock band from England whose songs were as excellent as their time together was short.
Henry Rollins
Miles Davis would have this lineup of all these amazing musicians and one day would just say, 'We're done.' After tons of great records and tickets sold, he said, 'Now I'm going to grow my hair out and play my horn through a wah-wah pedal.' Rather than play it safe, he went on.
Henry Rollins
Shirley Sherrod seems like a good and dedicated person.
Henry Rollins
I'd like to talk to Sean Hannity in a controlled environment and say, 'O.K., you can't interrupt and jump up and down like a professional wrestler.'
Henry Rollins
As a young person, I was on the road playing music, so I was getting new environments shoved in my face whether I wanted them or not.
Henry Rollins
If a slave were to raise his voice to his master, he risked all manner of punishment. Yet what was possible in many circumstances was to lift one's voice in song. This was a major ingredient in what is now known as blues and gospel. Slaves may have been regarded as subhuman by their cruel captors, but through music, they were proud and dignified.
Henry Rollins
I'm not a very good writer. I'm working at it.
Henry Rollins
When you have to work with and exist amongst cynical, burned-out personnel on a set, it doesn't matter what you're shooting or how much you're being paid - it's not worth it.
Henry Rollins
