Not really a quote, necessarily

I embrace my desire to feel the rhythm, to feel connected enough to step aside and weep like a widow, to feel inspired, to fathom the power, to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain, to swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human. ~Tool - Lateralus (Maynard James Keenan)

"I don't know about you but I could use me some cheap drugs and a couple of dirty hookers right about now. Know what I mean? Why don't you do some thing productive and kill yourself because standing here next to you is beginning to make me look like an idiot. And trust me, I'm capable of looking like an idiot without your assistance. You know it's not that I hate just you and you alone. I happen to hate most people, to be honest. You're just the closest one to me right now is all"
