More quotes by Henry Rollins
I think in rural settings, people have a different appreciation for animals than might the city dweller. In parts of India where poisonous snake bite is common, people have a much different value system. I live in a city. I'm not thinking about wolves, lions, etc.
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.
Henry Rollins
What I'm saying is America has a job deficit because hundreds of thousands of jobs went elsewhere. Not because [Barack] Obama raised your taxes. He, in fact, lowered them. They are lower.
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
I work pretty much every day. I can't really separate it from life, so I guess the work is my life.
Henry Rollins
To me, the real 'state of the union' is found in how Americans react to current events.
Henry Rollins
Every summer, around late July and into August, I find myself in Europe, performing at any festival that will have me.
Henry Rollins
How memories lie to us. How time coats the ordinary with gold. How it breaks the heart to go back and attempt to re-live them. How crushed we are when we discover that the gold was merely gold-plating thinly coated over lead, chalk and peeling paint.
Henry Rollins
No time for drug addiction, no time for smoke or booze. Too strong for a shortened life span, I've got no time to lose.
Henry Rollins
The best compliment I get every year is that a band will write me and say, 'We were just on tour, and we had people coming to our show saying they had never heard us before they heard us on your show.'
Henry Rollins
'Duck Dynasty' is a ridiculous show, and long may it wave. America and democracy will endure. They've seen a lot worse.
Henry Rollins
There’s one thing about Black Sabbath which should not be understated: If Black Sabbath is missing any one of its members it’s no longer Black Sabbath.
Henry Rollins
August brings into sharp focus and a furious boil everything I've been listening to in the late spring and summer.
Henry Rollins
I don't mind The Boss. I think he's an honest guy. I have some of his records, not all of them. I've met a couple of the E-Street guys, and they seem really cool.
Henry Rollins
Nothing moves me more than the history of the United States.
Henry Rollins
He said that hate makes the world go round People are afraid of what they really want They make enemies of all the things that they would like to be They condition themselves to not embrace what they are Love is a clinging nausea I tried to disagree with him It was no use I never saw a more honest look in anyone's eyes.
Henry Rollins
There are religions and social and moral awareness in any society that gets passed immediately. Those human truths. All cultures address them.
Henry Rollins
My whole access into culture was violent. Violence is something I understand. Don't like it, don't condone it, but I sure understand where it comes from.
Henry Rollins
I have to do things for myself, and if those standards are set high, then it's up to me to pass or fail.
Henry Rollins
I like the idea of going out with a woman and not doing anything, and just eating dinner and talking, and that's cool, too. So, someone might look at me and say, No way, man. He's just banging strippers. And I do that, but not all the time.
Henry Rollins
