Corey Taylor QUOTES

1 " The future is meant for those who are willing to let go of the worst parts of the past. When you cannot take two steps without turning around to inspect your footsteps, you are getting nowhere fast. "

― Corey Taylor , Seven Deadly Sins: Settling the Argument Between Born Bad and Damaged Good

2 " Live your life, no matter what that life is. "

― Corey Taylor , Seven Deadly Sins: Settling the Argument Between Born Bad and Damaged Good

3 " Anything exceptional gets crushed by common people with jealousy and ignorance and all their common evils. "

― Corey Taylor

4 " Music is not a fucking soda. It is not a fucking insurance rate. It is not a fucking T-shirt. It is the only real religion that is worth devoting your soul to. It is the last remnant of the primal scream, the funeral dirge, and the wedding march. It is the light that keeps me out of the shadows, and it is the reason my immortal soul is not in dire straits. "

― Corey Taylor

5 " I am a man ruled by music- I live, die, fight and survive for it. "

― Corey Taylor

6 " The mind is left bereft when it is nothing more than a tool of regurgitation. "

― Corey Taylor , Seven Deadly Sins: Settling the Argument Between Born Bad and Damaged Good

7 " The pale fabric of reality has so many hidden pockets that we can find some change in here somewhere - you just have to dig a little deeper to avoid the chewing gum and past mistakes. "

― Corey Taylor

8 " Things can get tough out there. I am in no way saying life is easy and we should breeze through it like a fart through silk filter; we are going to take our lumps and deal with our own unique adversity. What I am saying is that in all the chaos, remember to breathe, remember to smile, and remember that the only time to panic is when there is truly no tomorrow. Fortunately for the majority of us, tomorrow will always meet us in the morning with a cup of coffee and a fresh deck of cigarettes, ready to crack it's cocoon and mature into today. So ease the grip on your moralities and be yourself. Fantastic is really just the flaws. Nobody is perfect - not you, not me, not Jesus, Buddha, Jehovah, not God. But the great thing is that you do not have to be perfect to be alive, and that is what makes life absolutely perfect. "

9 " So many people in the world would rather stay in a situation that's painful but familiar because they're comfortable with it. Not a lot of people have the strength or heart to realize when something's not good for them and to turn around and be alone. "

― Corey Taylor

10 " Can you imagine how boring life would be without the seven little spices? you talk about sloth, but why would men and women get out of bed if there were no lust? Why would people want to be in a band if they couldn't feel the rush that rage bring to the musical table? Why would anyone want to be a bleeding heart without even a hint of greed in their dirty little soul? Why would the world go round if there weren't a few rules to break? A few revolutions to make? Let's put it this way: Why would you want to take a deep breath if you were expected to hold the damn thing? "

― Corey Taylor , Seven Deadly Sins: Settling the Argument Between Born Bad and Damaged Good

11 " No one can hold me accountable. That is a job for my conscience and my soul. I am the only judge of what I am capable of, because who really knows me but me? Who really understands the road I have traveled if they can't even find it on a map? "

― Corey Taylor , Seven Deadly Sins: Settling the Argument Between Born Bad and Damaged Good

12 " I just want you to want what has always been yours to have. The way is never shut if the light you seek is bright enough. If you are feeling a little dark, you can always change the bulb. Never let the limits of your understanding dictate how far you can go. We can be better. We can just be. Trust me- it's as simple as that. "

― Corey Taylor

13 " I've gotta say what I've gotta say and then I swear I'll go away, but I can't promise you'll enjoy the noise. "

― Corey Taylor

14 " Bad music is a form of murder to the true art of music in general.Bad music forced on a child is abuse because it invariably forms that child´s taste in music. Bad music has raped an industry that was held up strongly by great expression for decades but now finds itself floundering, giving in to the lowest common denominator of music just to keep its panties around its waist. Bad music tortures the eardrums and kills little bits of your senses through prolonged exposure. Bad music steals money from shallow pockets, steals airtime from more deserving bands and songwriters, and steals the spotlight from undiscovered geniuses who have all but given up on a dream because of the mediocrity of popular radio. Bad music is a lie, and yet it is foisted on the public in an attempt to turn melodies and songs into hamburgers and fries. Bad music is truly a sin because you don´t have to be exceptional to make it in the music industry anymore. You just have to be good enough to stick around and be tolerated. I understand that bad music is a matter of opinion. I know that. But I am fairly confident that more people agree with me than you suspect.
Bad music is just fucking bad. "

15 " Why have free will if you cannot put a few miles on it first? It is like comparing felonies to misdemeanors: Stealing candy is not the same as murder, and lust does not always mean rape. "

― Corey Taylor , Seven Deadly Sins: Settling the Argument Between Born Bad and Damaged Good

16 " You have to live HAVOC to understand havoc "

― Corey Taylor

17 " Bad things happen when good people pretend nothing is wrong. "

― Corey Taylor , Seven Deadly Sins: Settling the Argument Between Born Bad and Damaged Good

18 " I have come to accept myself for what I am: human. I am not perfect. I am not immune to fate, but I am not automatically doomed for being alive. I feel temptations every second of every day and I am not controlled by them. I do what I want anyway, so who is to say I want anything else? When I want, I let these peculiarities run across me like dogs to their masters. When I do not, I keep them at bay with my will and my testimony. I do not cut myself off from what makes me feel; I just refuse to feel anything that cuts me off from what matters most. It is called will power. With a little practice, you can accomplish great things. "

― Corey Taylor , Seven Deadly Sins: Settling the Argument Between Born Bad and Damaged Good

19 " The best friends you will ever have are the ones who don't make you feel like you owe them a damn thing. "

― Corey Taylor , Seven Deadly Sins: Settling the Argument Between Born Bad and Damaged Good

20 " There is going to come a time when we have to accept who we are without the assistance of religion. That will be the dawn of true faith. We leave the big decisions to invisible consultants and pray we get the answers we are looking for. The late great George Carlin once said he gave up praying to God and started praying to Joe Pesci because his prayers to Joe Pesci were answered with as much accuracy and frequency as those to God. [...] If we as people are still looking for answers, we should turn our eyes away from the heavens and look to each other. I know we do not play well together - hell, some of us do not even like being in the same room with each other - but the divine lies in all of us. We are miracles. We are "god." If we shared a little more, we would not be left feeling less. We hold the keys to our own destinies. It is time we started looking for the locks. "
