I never think of what it's going to be like later. I only think in the present tense. The only time I think backwards is when I have to reissue something. Henry Rollins More Quotes by Henry Rollins More Quotes From Henry Rollins 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. Henry Rollins spare-timelife-timespares 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. Henry Rollins soulsnowlaughing Go without a coat when it's cold; find out what cold is. Go hungry; keep your existence lean.

Henry Rollins writingfunart 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.
