More quotes by Henry Rollins
August in sub-Saharan Los Angeles is one of the great and awful tests of one's endurance, sanity and stamina.
Henry Rollins
I used to sit on the roof of the apartment where Jim Morrison used to write his early lyrics
Henry Rollins
Keep me preoccupied Keep me busy, busy, busy So I won't have to think I don't want to think Because it only brings me pain I just keep running away from My problems Keep me busy Give me a million things to do So I can keep running away from myself.

The arts in America exist in spite of America, not because of America.
Henry Rollins
A rose trapped inside a fist.
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
Anywhere you hang yourself is home.

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
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
My first introduction to African music was by my mother, who bought the 'Pata Pata' album by the great Miriam Makeba when it came out. Now that is an album. What a voice.
Henry Rollins
A man came up to me the other day and said he hadn't had a bite in weeks. So you know what I did? I walked by him like he didn't even exist.
Henry Rollins
Everything you do makes my body scream with loneliness.
Henry Rollins
I'm not a very good writer. I'm working at it.
Henry Rollins
The more you own, the more it owns you.
Henry Rollins
A lot of Americans don't have a passport, never will have a passport. Not only will they not travel, they don't want to travel.
Henry Rollins
When people make my country look bad, I can't stand it.
Henry Rollins
I wonder how Colin Powell sleeps at night. I would like to have a word with him because he lied. He lied. He lied to me. He lied to my face through the camera at the U.N.
Henry Rollins
Don't push me I've got a corner at my back I've nowhere to go except over you.
Henry Rollins
I don't think you'll ever have a perfect world because we humans are prone to error, and so we're always in search of an upgrade.

If I hear, 'Be afraid of Tehran,' I'm like, 'I'd better go to Tehran.'
