A text conversation is a short exchange of often grossly truncated language that corresponds to a thought made all the more shallow by the process.

More quotes by Henry Rollins
Some music really does suck!
Henry Rollins
There're some places that are more difficult or dangerous to navigate and I wouldn't look forward to going back. Like I'd much rather go back to Afghanistan - which fascinates me - quicker than I'd go back to spend a week walking around Nairobi, Kenya, which is a great and easy way to get yourself killed.
Henry Rollins
Shirley Sherrod seems like a good and dedicated person.
Henry Rollins
I'm not much of an improv guy. That's a talent I don't have.
Henry Rollins
Too sick and freaked out not to want a bullet for every passer by, too sick and freaked out to breathe, too sick and freaked out to care, too sick and freaked out to think of anything but the annihilation of my mind and denial of my life. So sick and freaked out that I think everyone is my friend.
Henry Rollins
I was raised in Washington, DC, very violent place. I grew up with violence. My introduction to music was violent. The years I've spent on tours, some of that was extremely violent.
Henry Rollins
Maybe I'm ego-tripping, but I don't find myself a particularly horrible person, so I don't think I need to hold back anything I think or feel.
Henry Rollins
After I left D.C. to join Black Flag, I felt I was in a band.
Henry Rollins
I see violence in myself I've done some pretty violent things in my lifetime and I've been around some pretty severe violence all the way up to homicide.
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
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
I'm always looking, people are always presenting and I have found that every year of my life there's been great bands. All over the world, all the time. So when someone goes, Music sucks now! I'll go, I don't think so. Not over at my house.
Henry Rollins
The Ninja, as you know, operates by stealth. And so, case in point: I put out records... no one hears them! I make videos... (whispers) no one sees! I go on tour.... (whispers) no one knows! NINJA! I was never here!
Henry Rollins
The Bad Seeds are a band I will travel a great distance to see whenever possible.
Henry Rollins
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was vigorously and vociferously opposed by the Southern states. President Lyndon B. Johnson signed it into law nonetheless.
Henry Rollins
Voting is completely important. People in America think democracy is a given. I think of it as an ecosystem, and what gets in the way of it is politicians and apathy.
Henry Rollins
America is a country born from semi-mythologized blood, glory and acts of selfless patriotic sacrifice.
Henry Rollins
When you see the Escalades and the Hummers driving down the street, at least in Los Angeles, this dry, flat desert with shopping malls, when you see someone driving one of those through this you're like, 'You are definitely part of the problem.'
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
I am afforded a bit of easy wonderment in relative comfort as to how humans have lasted so long. Climate- and geography-wise, the planet seems to have little use for us.
Henry Rollins
