More quotes by Henry Rollins
Russia is tough. The history, the land, the people - brutal.
Henry Rollins
I always start tours with a great deal of anticipation.
Henry Rollins
I don't want to go with the smooth skin and the calm brow. I hope I end up a blithering idiot cursing the sun - hallucinating, screaming, giving obscene and inane lectures on street corners and public parks.
Henry Rollins
I live my life by the numbers. Not only am I an American, I am an Americanist.
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
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

Henry Rollins
What goes best with a cup of coffee? Another cup.
Henry Rollins
In the city of Pyongyang, you don't have to look very far to see an image of the Great Leader, Kim Il Sung. They love the guy. He is responsible for the wonder that is North Korea.
Henry Rollins
After... The seas have dried out The trains have come to a shrieking holt The hounds of the abyss cease to howl The prisons have closed their doors The pigs have no one to arrest except themselves The drugs no longer have an effect When it's all over All I'll remember is you
Henry Rollins
You know, we are one nation under a god. Yes, you were right. An angry, crack slinging god who decorates with bullets and spent condoms.
Henry Rollins
I get tired of talking when I want to be silent.
Henry Rollins
I think Perry Ferrell put independent music on a very good path with Lollapalooza.
Henry Rollins
I really enjoy the lattitude I have with being a private citizen. I can get a lot done. I am good with that.
Henry Rollins
This is my 25th year of being on stage. A lot of people who I kind of toed up to the starting line with are no longer in this position. I feel very, very lucky.
Henry Rollins
Sleep is for squares.
Henry Rollins
Rock is ironic in that, up to a certain point, you can get better and better at it if you don't mind possibly looking more and more ridiculous.
Henry Rollins
The scarcity of the music not only makes the music itself enjoyable but it also gives the collector a strange sense of superiority.
Henry Rollins
I don't believe it mattered to Timothy McVeigh who was president or who his congressional representative was when he blew up the Murrah Building in 1995.
