Henry Rollins citáty

strana 4

„Je smutné, když se z někoho, koho znáte, stane někdo, koho jste znali.“

„Lidi jsou zkurvený. Naplňují vám život bolestí. Pokaždé si myslíte, že to bude jiné, a ono není. Vždycky je to ten samý náklad prolhaného zla.“

„Dnes jsem dostal dopis od jedné holky. Píše mi, jak za mnou na koncertě přišla a povídala si se mnou a jak jsem se k ní choval moc hezky. Říká, že byla vážně zklamaná. Doufala, že budu spíš hroznej hajzl. Zklamal jsem ji. Až ji příště uvidím, tak ji nakopu do prdele, aby se jí zlepšila nálada.“

„Nechci nikoho znát, lidi mě naplňují samotou.“

„Naučíte se vyhazovat věci, myšlenky, vzpomínky, přátele, naučíte se ztrácet. Čím lepší v tom jste, tím snadněji se životem protlučete.“

„Co je nejlepší k šálku kávy? Další šálek.“

„Jde o to, co si o sobě myslíte. Nikdo vás nemůže soudit a mít pravdu. Nikdo vás nezná. Dělejte, co děláte, a je to.“

„Zatraceně, tohle je tak osamocené místo. Neptejte se mě na jméno, jen tu se mnou zůstaňte.“

„Nemám blízko k lidem, mám blízko k sobě. Trávím hodně času ve svém nitru.“

„Nikdy nezapomenu, jak dobré a zároveň špatné deprese a osamělost byly. Stále jsou.“

„Tony Conrad je punkrock stejně jako každý, kdo měl tu drzost nazvat sám sebe punkrockem.“

“My pen knows what to do. I close my eyes and I see this girl who glows. A girl who radiates. When she smiles, she beams. She warms my heart. I open my eyes with a feeling of floating past all the garbage around me. I will emerge unscathed because I will not endeavor to hide myself from whatever is coming. Bring on the worst. I welcome it with open arms.”

“Thank you for touching me. Some of the only moments worth living were spent with you. Not you especially, the collective you.”

“The Iron never lies to you. You can walk outside and listen to all kinds of talk, get told that you're a god or a total bastard. The Iron will always kick you the real deal. The Iron is the great reference point, the all-knowing perspective giver. Always there like a beacon in the pitch black. I have found the Iron to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go. But two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds.”

“I got three letters today telling me that I'm god. Why can't I pay the rent?”

“I must tell you that I was always afraid of the fury with which I loved you. It overwhelmed me. I thought it beyond comprehension, therefore my silence.”

“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.”

“It is no surprise to me that hardly anyone tells the truth about how they feel. The smart ones keep themselves to themselves for good reason. Why would you want to tell anyone anything that's dear to you? Even when you like them and want nothing more than to be closer than close to them? It's so painful to be next to someone you feel strongly about and know you can't say the things you want to.”

“Cynicism is only intellectual sloth.”

“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!”

“I will never say the things that I want to say to you. I know the damage it would do. I love you more than I hate my loneliness and pain.”

“Whenever I get dumped, I nail the door shut so that no one can come inside, get a towel and clip it around my neck so it's like a Superman cape, take off my shoes so I can slide across the room, and…get a fake mic, like a celery stick or a pen, and I play any record that features the vocalist Ronnie James Dio. And you can just pretend you're Dio, because on every album he does, he has minimum one, usually three, *EVIL WOMAN LOOK OUT!*- songs. And if you wanna point like Dio, it's a three-finger point. (heavy metal voice) 'The exit is that way. Evil LURKS! Evil lurks in twilight! Dances in the DARK! Evil woman! Just WALK AWAY!”

“You would think that pot had some kind of power; I mean come on, it’s a plant, not a reason for living. Controlled by a plant, how hilarious. A plant! A fucking plant!”
