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

Strength is the product of struggle, you must do what others don't to achieve what others won't.

Struggle, Bodybuilding, Achieve

Go without a coat when it's cold; find out what cold is. Go hungry; keep your existence lean. Wear away the fat, get down to the lean tissue and see what it's all about. The only time you define your character is when you go without. In times of hardship, you find out what you're made of and what you're capable of. If you're never tested, you'll never define you character.

Character, Hardship, Tissues

You must never lower yourself to being a person you don't like.

I want a soul mate who can sit me down, shut me up, tell me ten things I don’t already know, and make me laugh. I don’t care what you look like, just turn me on. And if you can do that, I will follow you on bloody stumps through the snow. I will nibble your mukluks with my own teeth. I will do your windows. I will care about your feelings. Just have something in there.

Snow, Laughing, Soul

We all learn lessons in life. Some stick, some don't. I have always learned more from rejection and failure than from acceptance and success.

Loneliness adds beauty to life. It puts a special burn on sunsets and makes night air smell better.

Do you know why Albert Camus was so prolific? He wrote to keep from screaming.

I believe that one defines oneself by reinvention. To not be like your parents. To not be like your friends. To be yourself. To cut yourself out of stone.

If I had to live my life in anticipation of what others thought of me, little would get done.

Weakness is what brings ignorance, cheapness, racism, homophobia, desperation, cruelty, brutality, all these things that will keep a society chained to the ground, one foot nailed to the floor.

Ignorance, Feet, Racism

"Henry Rollins' Letter to a Young American (Pt. 2)". bigthink.com.

Listen to the stage manager and get on stage when they tell you to. No one has time for the rock star bullshit. None of the techs backstage care if you're David Bowie or the milkman. When you act like a jerk, they are completely unimpressed with the infantile display that you might think comes with your dubious status. They were there hours before you building the stage, and they will be there hours after you leave tearing it down. They should get your salary, and you should get theirs.

Stars, Thinking, Rocks

"Black Coffee Blues". Book by Henry Rollins, 1992.

My main goal is to stay alive. To keep fooling myself into hanging around. To keep getting up every day. Right now I live without inspiration. I go day to day and do the work because it's all I know. I know that if I keep moving I stand a chance. I must keep myself going until I find a reason to live. I need one so bad. On the other hand maybe I don't. Maybe it's all bullshit. Nothing I knew from my old life can help me here. Most of the things that I believed turned out to be useless. Appendages from someone else's life.

Moving, Inspiration, Hands

Henry Rollins (2005). “Roomanitarian”, 2.13.61

The ones who don't do anything are always the ones who try to pull you down.
