I can't imagine being sixty years of age and playing music I wrote when I was in my twenties. I would rather sail the sea of consequence to new lands. Laps around the shallow end of the pool, not for me.

More quotes by Henry Rollins
Keep your blood clean, your body lean, and your mind sharp.
Henry Rollins
From those who agonize that they may no longer be able to write off their private jet to someone who doesn't feel like making the three mile hike to the well to get water and carry it back, everyone struggles.
Henry Rollins
I am too far gone to be rehabilitated.
Henry Rollins
I can't remember that I ever had just a minute of stage fright.
Henry Rollins
Every politician, every president gets votes by getting people that don't like him to like him. That's why politicians are slippery: because they talk out of both sides of their mouth.
Henry Rollins
In blues music, there's a lot of borrowing, so it's often difficult to identify the originator of a song.
Henry Rollins
There is no heaven for me and no hell. And certainly not any Karma.
Henry Rollins
When people make my country look bad, I can't stand it.
Henry Rollins
I travel because I want to know. Books and documentaries will only get you so far. If you want to know, you will have to go.
Henry Rollins
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
There’s got to be someone for me. It’s not too much to ask. Just someone to be with. Someone to love. Someone to give everything to. Someone.
Henry Rollins
Youth is fleeting and life is short, you might as well strike hard. Anything else is just average.
Henry Rollins
Some soldier will say, 'You know, sir, you and I have some political disagreements, but I'm glad you came all the way out here.' And you know, you say, 'Well, maybe one day you'll see the light but I'm glad to be out here with you.'
Henry Rollins
Trying to write music, be in a band and keep it all happening is one of the hardest, morale-destroying, heartbreaking things you will ever try to do - and that's when it's going well.
Henry Rollins
What if Americans were all judged by the actions of the Bush administration and people did not know the truth? That America is full of people who are, at present, poorly represented and poorly catered to by the media.
Henry Rollins
I have come to the conclusion that it's a waste of time to have too much pride in anything. Perhaps it's good to have a sense of duty, a jealous zeal to protect or improve, but pride ultimately is only that which stands vulnerable to offense and degradation.
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
You have to realize there are other people, other economies, governments, cultures, religions, and destinies going on at the same time as yours. You have to widen the scope of your lens and start seeing more.
Henry Rollins
You have to get away from them. You have to get as far away as you can otherwise they'll kill you with their lives. They don't know what they do. They are careless with themselves and they take too much for granted. They make their shortcomings your problem. The only way to keep your head above it and heal your wounds is to crawl away.
Henry Rollins
You can't get your head around something if you're yelling.
Henry Rollins
