Words of wisdom from the late, great Lemmy Kilmister:
“ In my life so far, I have discovered that there are really only two kinds of people: those who are for you, and those who are against you. Learn to recognize them, for they are often and easily mistaken for each other.”
“ I don’t do regrets. Regrets are pointless. It’s too late for regrets. You’ve already done it, haven’t you? You’ve lived your life. No point wishing you could change it.”
“ It seems that our brave new world is becoming less tolerant, spiritual and educated than it ever was when I was young.”
“ As you go through life’s rich tapestry, you realize that most people you meet aren’t fit to shine your shoes. It’s a sad fact, but it’s true. A good friend is someone who’d hide you if you were on the run for murder. How many of them do you know?”
“ Home is in here [tapping temple]. Where you live is just a geographical preference.”
“ This entire generation seems to have become pussies, you know? Nobody seems to enjoy themselves much anymore.They are all knocking each other down for enjoying themselves.”
“ Integrity is everything to me. I will not die ashamed. I will live on my deathbed knowing that I gave it my best shot, and everything else is meaningless to me.”
“ People don’t become better when they’re dead; you just talk about them as if they are.”
“ You just have to keep going and everything will sort itself out.”
“ Human beings are carnivores – just look at our teeth! Our digestive systems are not made to handle vegetarian food. It makes you fart all the time, and you get intestinal flora. Vegetarianism is unrealistic – that’s why cows have four stomachs and we have one. Think about it. (Hi, Howard!) And don’t forget – Hitler was a vegetarian!"
RIP, big man.

Wisdom. The man had undeniable wisdom. The best of which often comes from the most unexpected of sources.

Thanks for sharing this. Lemmy was one badass dude. I don’t do regrets either, but I do wish I’d been able to see him live.

I’ve had his autobiography sitting here for a while, some day I hope to have time to read it.

I love Lemmy, but that last quote is a good example of why you shouldn’t take physiology lessons from a rockstar.

....ideally, before about 2005, when his lifestyle really caught up to him.
