You have to realize there are other people, other economies, governments, cultures, religions, and destinies going on at the same time as yours. You have to widen the scope of your lens and start seeing more.

Human beings should not be reduced to a state to where they almost get into a fight over a small bar of soap.
Henry Rollins

While I have no empirical evidence to back this up, I bet that the number of homosexual people per thousand has not fluctuated all that much over the centuries. I do not believe the dented wisdom my father used to extol, that homosexuality was a sure sign of a civilization in decline.

It is very difficult to tell Americans that they can't do something.
Henry Rollins
Image
I can't imagine being sixty years of age and playing music I wrote when I was in my twenties. I would rather sail the sea of consequence to new lands. Laps around the shallow end of the pool, not for me.

August in sub-Saharan Los Angeles is one of the great and awful tests of one's endurance, sanity and stamina.

My father did not rock. He just earned and hated. Don't end up like this man.

I want my fellow citizens to wise up and stop falling for [war]. I try with my limited access, I'm not getting into Kabul with a camera, they're not letting me get into Benghazi with a camera. I do what I can with my flimsy American passport and a visa. The photos are a bit more heavy from Southern Sudan and Haiti and Cuba.

I'm most comfortable on stage.

Will punk rock ever die? Pal, if you have to ask it's dead to you.

I'd like to talk to Sean Hannity in a controlled environment and say, 'O.K., you can't interrupt and jump up and down like a professional wrestler.'
Henry Rollins

One person's roar is another's whine, just as one person's music is another's unendurable noise.

It'll destroy you if you try to make it mean anything to anyone but yourself.
Henry Rollins
Image
I don't want to play old music. To me, it is fighting battles that are already over and calling yourself a warrior. For me, I see no courage or adventure in doing the old thing over again. If others want to, that's for them. For myself, I have to move on. Life is too short to live in the past. There is a lot to be done.

If some band sucks, you're going to have to find out about it for yourself, because I don't have the interest in issuing warnings.

One of the odd enjoyments in life is to be alone in a room full of people. To have them there as unknowing human filler in your wide shot.

The number of people who are actual supporters of Mr. Romney could very well be less than the Donner Party, whose members they sadly resemble in many ways.

Most of the people who call me a sellout were 7 when I was down face-first in the punk trenches.
