Metal Quotes

All that stuff about heavy metal and hard rock, I don't subscribe to any of that. It's all just music.

Who's to say what is and isn't a certain type of music? (Ozzy Osbourne)

I can remember being in my pram: children stayed in their prams much longer then than they do now. A big bouncy pram with black covers and a hood with metal clips that could trap your fingers. I was looking up at my sister who was sitting on the pram seat, with her back to me. View quote

And it came to me then. That we were wonderful traveling companions but in the end no more than lonely lumps of metal in their own separate orbits.

When the orbits of these two satellites of ours happened to cross paths, we could be together. Maybe even open our hearts to each other. But that was only for the briefest moment. In the next instant we'd be in absolute solitude. Until we burned up and became nothing. View quote
Haruki Murakami

Robert Southwell
