Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn't argue with that; I'm right and I will be proved right. We're more popular than Jesus now; I don't know which will go first - rock and roll or Christianity.
John Lennon

We're more popular than Jesus now; I don't know which will go first, rock 'n' roll or Christianity.
John Lennon

I don't know which will go first - rock 'n' roll or Christianity.

Punk is musical freedom. It's saying, doing and playing what you want. In Webster's terms, 'nirvana' means freedom from pain, suffering and the external world, and that's pretty close to my definition of Punk Rock.
Kurt Cobain

If it's illegal to rock and roll, throw my ass in jail!
Kurt Cobain

Diplomacy is the art of saying "Nice doggie" until you can find a rock.
Will Rogers

Ernest Hemingway

Civilization began the first time an angry person cast a word instead of a rock.
Sigmund Freud

The Clinton administration launched an attack on people in Texas because those people were religious nuts with guns. Hell, this country was founded by religious nuts with guns. Who does Bill Clinton think stepped ashore on Plymouth Rock?
P. J. O'Rourke

I am Classic Rock Revisited. I revisit it every waking moment of my life because it has the spirit and the attitude and the fire and the middle finger. I am Rosa Parks with a Gibson guitar.
Ted Nugent

Rock on out.
Janis Joplin

The only rock I know that stays steady, the only institution I know that works, is the family.
Lee Iacocca

A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Only the guy who isn't rowing has time to rock the boat.
Jean-Paul Sartre

As a rock star, I have two instincts, I want to have fun, and I want to change the world. I have a chance to do both.
Bono

Rock 'n' roll is ridiculous. It's absurd. In the past, U2 was trying to duck that. Now we're wrapping our arms around it and giving it a great big kiss.
Bono

The gods had condemned Sisyphus to ceaselessly rolling a rock to the top of a mountain, whence the stone would fall back of its own weight. They had thought with some reason that there is no more dreadful punishment than futile and hopeless labor.
Albert Camus
