Suicide in the trenches:
I knew a simple soldier boy
Who grinned at life in empty joy,
Slept soundly through the lonesome dark,
And whistled early with the lark.
In winter trenches, cowed and glum
With crumps and lice and lack of rum,
He put a bullet through his brain.
No one spoke of him again.
* * * * *
You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye
Who cheer when soldier lads march by,
Sneak home and pray you'll never know
The hell where youth and laughter go. ~ Siegfried Sassoon
Simons Rock quotes by Siegfried Sassoon
I have always swung back and forth between alienation and relatedness. As a child, I would run away from the beatings, from the obscene words, and always knew that if I could run far enough, then any leaf, any insect, any bird, any breeze could bring me to my true home. I knew I did not belong among people. Whatever they hated about me was a human thing; the nonhuman world has always loved me. I can't remember when it was otherwise. But I have been emotionally crippled by this. There is nothing romantic about being young and angry, or even about turning that anger into art. I go through the motions of living in society, but never feel a part of it. When my family threw me away, every human on earth did likewise. ~ Wendy Rose
Simons Rock quotes by Wendy Rose
Have you forgotten yet?...
For the world's events have rumbled on since those gagged days,
Like traffic checked while at the crossing of city-ways:
And the haunted gap in your mind has filled with thoughts that flow
Like clouds in the lit heaven of life; and you're a man reprieved to go,
Taking your peaceful share of Time, with joy to spare.
But the past is just the same--and War's a bloody game...

Have you forgotten yet?...
Look down, and swear by the slain of the War that you'll never forget.

Do you remember the dark months you held the sector at Mametz
The nights you watched and wired and dug and piled sandbags on parapets?
Do you remember the rats; and the stench
Of corpses rotting in front of the front-line trench--
And dawn coming, dirty-white, and chill with a hopeless rain?
Do you ever stop and ask, 'Is it all going to happen again?'

Do you remember that hour of din before the attack--
And the anger, the blind compassion that seized and shook you then
As you peered at the doomed and haggard faces of your men?
Do you remember the stretcher-cases lurching back
With dying eyes and lolling heads--those ashen-grey
Masks of the lads who once were keen and kind and gay?

Have you forgotten yet?...
Look up, and swear by the green of the spring that you'll never forget. ~ Siegfried Sassoon
Simons Rock quotes by Siegfried Sassoon
In truth, Serenus, I have for a long time been silently asking myself to what I should liken such a condition of mind, and I can find nothing that so closely approaches it as the state of those who, after being released from a long and serious illness, are sometimes touched with fits of fever and slight disorders, and, freed from the last traces of them, are nevertheless disquieted with mistrust, and, though now quite well, stretch out their wrist to a physician and complain unjustly of any trace of heat in their body. It is not, Serenus, that these are not quite well in body, but that they are not quite used to being well; just as even a tranquil sea will show some ripple, particularly when it has just subsided after a storm. What you need, therefore, is not any of those harsher measures which we have already left behind, the necessity of opposing yourself at this point, of being angry with yourself at that, of sternly urging yourself on at another, but that which comes last -confidence in yourself and the belief that you are on the right path, and have not been led astray by the many cross- tracks of those who are roaming in every direction, some of whom are wandering very near the path itself. But what you desire is something great and supreme and very near to being a god - to be unshaken. ~ Seneca
Simons Rock quotes by Seneca
Detroit was kind of a random thing where it was like a chance to be in a rock 'n' roll movie. ~ Edward Furlong
Simons Rock quotes by Edward Furlong
If God is so powerful, can he create a rock which he cannot lift? ~ Terry Goodkind
Simons Rock quotes by Terry Goodkind
I don't want this life to end," said Alexander. "The good, the bad, the everything, the very old, to ever end. ~ Paullina Simons
Simons Rock quotes by Paullina Simons
There's this tug in my chest. Because when Bram says Simon's name, he pronounces every part of it. Like it's worth being careful over. ~ Becky Albertalli
Simons Rock quotes by Becky Albertalli
I really don't spend any time on the Internet, so I guess I live a little under a rock in that respect. ~ Christina Aguilera
Simons Rock quotes by Christina Aguilera
We look up and we hope the stars look down, we pray that there may be stars for us to follow, stars moving across the heavens and leading us to our destiny, but it's only our vanity. We look at the galaxy and fall in love, but the universe cares less about us than we do about it, and the stars stay in their courses however much we may wish upon them to do otherwise. It's true that if you watch the sky-wheel turn for a while you'll see a meteor fall, flame and die. That's not a star worth following; it's just an unlucky rock. Our fates are here on earth. There are no guiding stars. ~ Salman Rushdie
Simons Rock quotes by Salman Rushdie
I'm a hybrid-genre person, which a lot of people find confusing. I grew up listening to American country music and rock n' roll made between 1955 and 1959. The Everly Brothers and Chuck Berry were my first musical loves and are still what I am most moved by. Roy Orbison came a little bit later. ~ Teddy Thompson
Simons Rock quotes by Teddy Thompson
I don't know if I miss it per se, but I do miss the fact that there just doesn't seem to be any rock 'n' roll out there anyplace. Everything does seem kind of tame. It's even hard in Manhattan to go out and find a good band to go see. ~ Joan Jett
Simons Rock quotes by Joan Jett
The jury had down right contempt for punk rock grass roots ethics. ~ Jello Biafra
Simons Rock quotes by Jello Biafra
Without music the world will still turn, but it won't rock. ~ Fran Drescher
Simons Rock quotes by Fran Drescher
I would like to suffocate with grief but instead I give birth to a rock. ~ Henry Miller
Simons Rock quotes by Henry Miller
Maybe I'll rock your mouth on the way. ~ Maegan Lynn Moores
Simons Rock quotes by Maegan Lynn Moores
There was rock-hard, there was hard-as-steel, and then there was the solidity of Rafe's current erection - which so thoroughly surpassed all his previous experience, he suspected it might be of interest to science. ~ Tessa Dare
Simons Rock quotes by Tessa Dare
I used to hang out with grandfather all the time because he used to pick me up from school sometimes, or drive me to my mother's, so I'd be with my grandfather a lot. I used to watch him write his sermons. ~ Chris Rock
Simons Rock quotes by Chris Rock
Even though I'm a jazz-trained drummer, I cut my teeth playing rock. ~ Jimmy Chamberlin
Simons Rock quotes by Jimmy Chamberlin
I'm just a sucker for new-agey synth sounds and instrumentation. I wasn't really thinking of soft rock, but I know that kind of quiet-storm format uses a lot of these sounds. ~ Dan Bejar
Simons Rock quotes by Dan Bejar
Sean Corcoran and his wife saw a large, dark creature that swam across the lake before alighting on a rock and standing on its back legs, giving it a height of about 1.7 m. Curiously, its flipper-like extremities were red or orange. ~ Darren Naish
Simons Rock quotes by Darren Naish
For me the top music though has to be Rock or Hip Hop and artists like Kanye West. ~ Steve Purdy
Simons Rock quotes by Steve Purdy
I usually listen to classic rock and roll. ~ Caleb Landry Jones
Simons Rock quotes by Caleb Landry Jones
In the long-run I think we lost some of our audience because of noise. I don't think people were ready for it, OK? And after we did it nothing really happened, but then 4-5 years later when there was a rap-rock emergence, we were already over it. We could have made Bring the Noise part 2, Bring the Noise part 3 - but like I said we're a METAL band, we didn't want to do that. ~ Charlie Benante
Simons Rock quotes by Charlie Benante
If you don't have sex and you don't do drugs, your rock 'n' roll better be awfully good. ~ Abbie Hoffman
Simons Rock quotes by Abbie Hoffman
Most public persons do not market themselves as cheating lowlives - certainly not politicians (okay, maybe a few rock stars.) But most people try to present a somewhat appealing persona, which is why sex is still a hot topic. ~ Roxanne Roberts
Simons Rock quotes by Roxanne Roberts
Long ago, when an early galaxy began to pour light out into the surrounding darkness, no witness could have known that billions of years later some remote clumps of rock and metal, ice and organic molecules would fall together to make place called Earth; or that life would arise and thinking beings evolve who would one day capture a little of that galactic light, and try to puzzle out what had sent it on its way. And after the earth dies, some 5 billion years from now, after it's burned to a crisp, or even swallowed by the Sun, there will be other worlds and stars and galaxies coming into being
and they will know nothing of a place once called Earth. ~ Carl Sagan
Simons Rock quotes by Carl Sagan
Sisyphus, I. I cling to my rock, you don't have to chain me. Stand back! I roll it up - up, up. And ... down we go. I knew that would happen. See, I'm on my feet again. See, I'm starting to roll it up again. Don't try to talk me out of it. Nothing, nothing could tear me away from this rock. ~ Susan Sontag
Simons Rock quotes by Susan Sontag
I'm tired of pretending I'm not a total bitchin rock star from Mars. ~ Charlie Sheen
Simons Rock quotes by Charlie Sheen
Of all the early breakthrough rock and roll artists, none is more important to the development of the music than Chuck Berry. He is its greatest songwriter, the main shaper of its instrumental voice, one of its greatest guitarists, and one of its greatest performers. ~ Cub Koda
Simons Rock quotes by Cub Koda
Janice Joplin was uninhibited and raw, a combination which when blended with her stormy and tempestuous lifestyle was irresistible ~ Karl Wiggins
Simons Rock quotes by Karl Wiggins
If you didn't watch 'The Shield,' you should stop everything you are doing and go back and watch 'The Shield.' ~ Timothy Simons
Simons Rock quotes by Timothy Simons
That night, he laid in his bed thinking about all the possibilities. They came like waves in his mind. At first they came slow, then gradually built up speed, cresting into full on dreams, until finally, they broke onto the shore with all of their reality. First dreams, then nightmares. ~ Brian Joyce
Simons Rock quotes by Brian Joyce
Listening to hard rock on the subway doesn't work for me, especially modern hard rock. Driving in L.A. helped me to understand the appeal of that music. ~ Paul Dano
Simons Rock quotes by Paul Dano
If there is a Heaven, I'm sure Rock Hudson is there because he was such a kind person. ~ Doris Day
Simons Rock quotes by Doris Day
I guess you could say there are two Slashes. There's the crazy, rock-and-roll Slash, he's wild. And then there's the real Slash- he collects miniature soaps and treats his hookers real nice. ~ Slash
Simons Rock quotes by Slash
at California's Monterey Bay Aquarium found a banana peel on the floor in front of the Shale Reef exhibit at 3 a.m. On closer inspection, the banana peel turned out to be a healthy, fist-size red octopus. The security officer followed the wet slime trail and replaced the octopus in the exhibit it had come from. But here's the shocking part: The aquarium didn't know it had a red octopus living in its Shale Reef exhibit. Apparently the octopus hitchhiked there as a juvenile, attached to a rock or sponge added to the exhibit, and grew up at the aquarium without anyone knowing it was there. ~ Sy Montgomery
Simons Rock quotes by Sy Montgomery
Well I listened to mostly rock music, and I felt like hip hop was like an extension of rock music when it was done well. So energetically, again I felt like it was in line with punk rock and maybe hard rock, more than it was in line with R&B, which I never really liked. ~ Rick Rubin
Simons Rock quotes by Rick Rubin
Being in the movie [School of Rock] was really cool. Sometimes we had to do takes over, but Jack always kept us going. He was fun. ~ Miranda Cosgrove
Simons Rock quotes by Miranda Cosgrove
Love one another, Jesus said. Sometimes it took a lifetime to learn how. Sometimes it took someone to hit rock bottom to make someone reach up and grasp hold and be lifted from the mire to stand on a firm foundation. ~ Francine Rivers
Simons Rock quotes by Francine Rivers
To use the old jailhouse term and not the modern rock and roll one, a punk's question. ~ Adrian Barnes
Simons Rock quotes by Adrian Barnes
I don't think we ever sat down in the early days and said "hey lets be a band that wears make up". I think it was just natural for us. We grew up loving stuff like Alice Cooper, Kiss, The Misfits, and the more theatrical stuff. I always loved rock stars. I loved David Bowie and Freddie Mercury, and these people that were larger than life and iconic. I think that is what we always wanted to do. ~ Andy Biersack
Simons Rock quotes by Andy Biersack
Everything changes in every genre, whether it's pop, rock or country. ~ Mary Chapin Carpenter
Simons Rock quotes by Mary Chapin Carpenter
If there is God, I thought ... Please some day let me make love to this girl while she wears that dress." "Oh ... " "Tatiasha ... isn't it nice to know there is a God? ~ Paullina Simons
Simons Rock quotes by Paullina Simons
The word bollocks seems strong, punk rock, and imposing, but in reality, bollocks is always too tame to make much of an impact. ~ Jennifer Harrison
Simons Rock quotes by Jennifer Harrison
I am a D.J., I am what I play. ~ David Bowie
Simons Rock quotes by David Bowie
Now for me, music is indeed a spiritual experience. It may be hypnotizing or violently stimulating. I listen to and appreciate all kinds of music, from folk, to jazz, to classical, to hard core rock. ~ Robert M. Price
Simons Rock quotes by Robert M. Price
The Emperor died forsaken by all, on this horrible rock. (St. Helena) His death struggle was awful! ~ Napoleon Bonaparte
Simons Rock quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte
When I'm not filming, I do rock n' roll; when I'm not doing rock n' roll, I do filming. ~ Rhys Ifans
Simons Rock quotes by Rhys Ifans
He'd know about the role of mirror neurons in the brain, special cells in the premotor cortex that fire right before a person reaches for a rock, steps forward, turns away, begins to smile.Amazingly, the same neurons fire whether we do something or watch someone else do the same thing, and both summon similar feelings. Learning form our own mishaps isn't as safe as learning from someone else's, which helps us decipher the world of intentions, making our social whirl possible. The brain evolved clever ways to spy or eavesdrop on risk, to fathom another's joy or pain quickly, as detailed sensations, without resorting to words. We feel what we see, we experience others as self. ~ Diane Ackerman
Simons Rock quotes by Diane Ackerman
I'm not one of those spoiled rock stars who complains about how tedious it is to perform my old hits. ~ Maria Muldaur
Simons Rock quotes by Maria Muldaur
Drink in the heat of an ancient sun
held in the cold fire of water rising
from earth and rock
Spilling over your cupped hands
and drawn to lips and tongue
Pouring water's memory
of the azure mist it fell from
into the chalice of your flesh
Turning your eyes skywards
with desire
for the freedom it was born of ~ Tamara Rendell
Simons Rock quotes by Tamara Rendell
During a big rock show, you can flub a few things and nobody will hear it, because it gets buried under everything else. ~ Jonny Lang
Simons Rock quotes by Jonny Lang
