Zitate und Sprüche von Chester Bennington

This skull between my ears, that is a bad neighbourhood. I should not be in there alone.

You're constantly trying to prove yourself, even after you've made it.

I don't like to hold back, because that's how you hurt yourself.

There are always going to be encounters that you kind of wish went differently. But the average fan really isn't fanatical.

I don't drink. I choose to be sober now. I have drunk over the last six years, but I just don't want to be that person anymore.

I have been able to tap into all the negative things that can happen to me throughout my life by numbing myself to the pain so to speak and kind of being able to vent it through my music.

I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface
Don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes

Sharp edges have consequences, I
Guess that I had to find out for myself
Sharp edges have consequences, now
Every scar is a story I can tell

'Don't you run with scissors, son
You're gonna hurt someone'
Mama told me look before you leap
Always think before you speak
And watch the friends you keep

I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I know it's not alright
So I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
Tonight

All I know
Time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away

When you were standing in the wake of devastation
When you were waiting on the edge of the unknown
And the cataclysm raining down
Insides crying 'Save me now'

Your lips say that you love
Your eyes say that you hate

But no one would listen
'Cause no one else cared

When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed

I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter

I tried so hard and got so far
But in the end, it doesn't even matter
I had to fall to lose it all.
But in the end, it doesn't even matter

Before you diagnose yourself with depression or low self-esteem, first make sure that you are not, in fact, surrounded by a-sholes.

If believing in yourself and going after what you want in life and realising your worth is ruthless and selfish, then I'm definitely ruthless and selfish.

Good, better, best. Never let it rest. Until your good is better and your better is the best.

Truth is like the sun. You can shut it out for a time, but it ain't goin' away.

The warden threw a party in the county jail
The prison band was there and they began to wail
The band was jumping and the joint began to swing
You should've heard those knocked out jailbirds sing

Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancing to the Jailhouse Rock

Someone will always be prettier.
Someone will always be smarter.
Someone will always be younger.
But they will never be you.

You don't need me to tell you what's gone wrong
You know what's going on
And it seems to me we've not cared enough
Or confided in each other at all
It seems like we've all got our backs against the wall

Time waits for nobody
Time waits for no one
We've got to trust one another
Or we'd have no more future at all

Someday we'll look back on this and it will all seem funny.

And she was blinded by the light
Oh, cut loose like a deuce another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
She got down but she never got tight, but she'll make it alright

There's nothing glorious in dying. Anyone can do it.

Don't accept the old order. Get rid of it!

It's better to burn out, than to fade away.

Live music is better.

If you end up with a boring, miserable life because you listened to your mom, your dad, your teacher, your priest, or some guy on television telling you how to do your shit, then you deserve it.

If you want to get laid, go to college. If you want an education, go to the library.

Lose your dreams and you might lose your mind.

The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it, but I don't want to be its prisoner either.

Let's play it f*cking loud!

You can never be wise and be in love at the same time.

In her own good land here she's been abused
She's been burned, dishonored, denied an' refused
And the government for which she stands
Has scandalized throughout the land
And she's getting thread bare, and she's wearin' thin
But she's in good shape, for the shape she's in
Cause she's been through the fire before
And I believe she can take a whole lot more

Of emotions, of love, of breakup, of love and hate and death and dying, mama, apple pie, and the whole thing. It covers a lot of territory, country music does.

When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace.

I don't consider myself to be the best... and I don't like compliments... they distract me.

You can't go through life and leave things the way they are. We can all make a difference, and if I die today, I know I made a difference.

Life is too short to have anything but delusional notions about yourself.

I'm thankful for each and every day. We never know when time is up.
