More quotes by Henry Rollins
While they flail about, you will remain calm in the knowledge that you possess strength from within.
Henry Rollins
Not that the writers weren't good. I believe in those books and those writers very much. It's just that in the climate it's really hard to keep the lights on and the doors open when you're selling poetry and literature that appeals to a fringe audience.
Henry Rollins
Maybe some things are better left broken and scattered Veiled in darkness, secret bitterness and self-doubt I should have known better Than to start something that I couldn't finish That I couldn't care about That I couldn't remember starting in the first place I don't want to know you You went years without me You might as well keep going.
Henry Rollins
The only thing worse than the Pastor Terry Jones scheduled Koran burning is the fact that he canceled the proposed event.
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
I don't consider myself an actor, for me it's employment. Like the actor who's a waiter a lot, I'm an actor when I'm not on tour, in that that's a job I can do.
Henry Rollins
I think hip-hop has definitely brought the black experience to white kids more than the civil rights movement did and more than any teacher's well-intentioned lecture on Martin Luther King did.
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'll never forget how the depression and loneliness felt good and bad at the same time. Still does.
Henry Rollins
After having read a lot of fiction, literature, whatever you want to call it, from Wolfe to Houellebecq, I think you have to have an understanding and insight of the human condition that is informed and motivated by a desire to immerse yourself in the human world and bring these stories to bear.
Henry Rollins
It is instilled in thousands of American males from an early age that one of their requirements is to be able to both dish out and take a lot of pain. They are taught the rules of this road in gyms, rings, backyards and fields all over America.
Henry Rollins
I wonder if it is Australia's great distance from more populated land masses that allows its inhabitants to be left to their own devices, to be incredibly creative and, at times, to be wonderfully weird.
Henry Rollins
Juan Williams is a very sharp guy.
Henry Rollins
I can only write about personal stuff, about my point of view.
Henry Rollins
As far as I have been able to understand, the Japanese seem to keep things close to the vest. Friendly but remote and polite to the point of being invisible. It is in the music, literature, film and art that the Japanese really seem to express themselves.
Henry Rollins
Am I self-righteous? Why not? It's not like I can count on you to be righteous for me.
Henry Rollins
Love beyond the damage.
Henry Rollins
The only thing about sanctions is that, like a lot of drone strikes, there are countless unintended victims. Cutting off aid to Uganda only increases the pain there.
Henry Rollins
Republicans just can't help themselves. They get in front of a live microphone and within a few sentences are rocketing down the swiftest and most direct route to the all-you-can-eat comedian-and-talk-show-host buffet.
Henry Rollins
Florida is a crazy place, and I have played some of the wildest shows of my life here.
Henry Rollins
