Henry Rollins Quotes

Freedom gives you everything you need to fail on a monumental scale.

Getting rid of you is a good thing, that’s why I don’t write you back
I’m vomiting every memory from my system

You used to frustrate me with your shallow embrace
Now you don’t make me feel anything

The countryside is beautiful. I’ve never seen anything like it. Thatched roofs on the houses. Snow everywhere, the sky is so blue. I’m 22 years old today.

All bullshit and no death and mutilated assholes makes Jack a dull boy, dull and tense.

Sometime later near dawn I fall asleep
I get up and go out there
Go through the motions
Trying to look like someone
Who’s alive
Inside I’m screaming all the time
Every day dealing with the many shades of horror
There’s nothing anyone can say to me
Nothing anyone can do

No such thing as spare time, no such thing as free time. No such thing as down time. All you got is life time

Don’t touch me
I’ll feel too good
I’ll fall apart
The only thing holding me together is my pain

I don’t want to have to defend you to people who will talk shit
I would do it though
Always
So take good care of yourself
If you forget how
Call me
I’ll remind you

At one point two guys looked to start fighting and I yelled for them to kill each other and then they made up and I told them to fuck each other.

There will be no real life
There will be the alcohol circus

If I could I would melt into your arms
I would fall like ten dead languages
I would not front
I would not lie to you
I don’t think I could lie anymore
I have grown too old for such youthful pursuits
I want to love someone before I die
Hurry
It won’t be long now

Keep me preoccupied
Keep me busy, busy, busy
So I won’t have to think
I don’t want to think
Because it only brings me pain
I keep running away from my problems
Keep me busy
Give me a million things to do
So I can keep running away

If I was gay, there would be no closet, you would never see the closet I came out of. Why? I would have burned it for kindling by the time I was 12. Because I know with all certainty in my mind, there is nothing wrong with being gay, and you know it.

Basically, men are afraid of women and can't handle the fact that they came out of the same thing they spend the rest of their lives trying to get back into.
