More quotes by 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
There is no place in the world like Australia. Not even its beautiful neighbor New Zealand.
Henry Rollins
Humans will take a rain forest and lose it and cover it with concrete. They will take the woods and turn it into a parking garage and I am not saying that's bad. I am just saying that's what we do. We occupy the planet with a vengeance. We seek to dominate it.
Henry Rollins
I don't want to play old music. To me, it is fighting battles that are already over and calling yourself a warrior. For me, I see no courage or adventure in doing the old thing over again. If others want to, that's for them. For myself, I have to move on. Life is too short to live in the past. There is a lot to be done.
Henry Rollins
Airports in major cities, like LAX, are trippy environments. It is at once a national and international gathering of those in transition: The euphoric, emerging from planes, their journey at an end, and the determined, about to depart.
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
Music keeps you young. Having music in your life keeps you open to things.
Henry Rollins
Imagine someone so infatuated by a band that they have every different pressing of every album the band made. Most of the time, the only difference in the album is the matrix number or a different 'made in' notation on the back cover or label. This is enough to make some people extremely excited. Actually, much more than excited.
Henry Rollins
It took me until my teenage years to realize that I was medicating with music. I was pushing back against my stupid school uniform, instructors who called me by my last name and my classmates, who, while friendly enough, were not at all inspiring.
Henry Rollins
I just want to be able to stand up straight for a little while before I get cut down.
Henry Rollins
The only thing about sanctions is that, like a lot of drone strikes, there are countless unintended victims. Cutting off aid to Uganda only increases the pain there.
Henry Rollins
America is a country born from semi-mythologized blood, glory and acts of selfless patriotic sacrifice.
Henry Rollins
Creativity requires a lot of pass/fail/start again and it is often hard on the psyche.
Henry Rollins
The fact is, in the minds of many, Trayvon Martin received the appropriate punishment for a true crime: He was black, male and dared to walk outside. In life, young Trayvon was just a teenager in death, he has been transformed into a scary, lurking, suspicious, prone-to-violence spook.
Henry Rollins
I never think of what it's going to be like later. I only think in the present tense. The only time I think backwards is when I have to reissue something.
Henry Rollins
Republicans just can't help themselves. They get in front of a live microphone and within a few sentences are rocketing down the swiftest and most direct route to the all-you-can-eat comedian-and-talk-show-host buffet.
Henry Rollins
I think marriage is a boring and fault-ridden contractual obligation.
Henry Rollins
The ecstatic insanity of romantic pursuit can be so enhanced by music that entire romantic conquests, victories and ruinous, crushing defeats can be tied to songs to such a degree that it's almost unbearable to listen to them again, as they bring back the memories so vividly.
Henry Rollins
I try to get myself up and moving as early as possible. Optimum is to be on the treadmill while it is still dark outside.
Henry Rollins
There's something about being under-rested and knowing that the situation is going to remain that way for quite some time that makes things more meaningful.
Henry Rollins
