Quotes edit see section history

• “PG 25 (last paragraph) "The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying says that death is the graduation ceremony, while living is just a long course in learning and preparing for the next journey. If we acknowledge death as the beginning, then how can we fear it?”

  Nikki Sixx

• “PG 29 (last paragraph) "Creativity in its purest form is when you're willing to stand erect, eyes slammed shut, and let yourself fall. Whether its backward toward a cement floor or forward off a thirteen-story building, you have to believe that somehow, someway, you're not going to crack your head on the floor or hit the street below. Unlike the overblown ad campaign for the newest cologne, or the equally horrible-smelling commercial featuring the diamond right that signifies a love that last "forever", this journey is not one that has a safety net waiting to catch you softly in its arms, but I hope, one that is more like laying your head upon a bed of nails. And, if your lucky, piercing your heart in the process and reminding you how to feel. I live and love and make music and make pictures in this place and, like I said, I don't know what I'm doing or why I do it, but I do know this: I love it, and I hope it moves you like it moves me.”

  Nikkie Sixx

• “PG 33: Second last line of 2 paragraph"I am not my past, but my past is me"”

• Now get off your ass and change what you don’t like about your life. You get what you focus on. Trust me on this if nothing else. I am living (and dying) proof.

• In life, when the baggage gets too heavy, you have to put it down.

• if you don’t take control of your life, your life takes over you…or, if you don’t deal with your demons, your demons deal with you. Shit happens and it hurts, but you’re also able to change your life in the blink of an eye. Pain is a gift. It is an opportunity to make things better.

• I am saying that if you think your life is in shambles, maybe it’s a gift. It could be just the thing to push you to a new, better level. Yes, this is gonna hurt, but doesn’t growing always involve some pain? I think it does.

• Do what you want. Not what your mom, your wife, your dad, or your friends want. If you truly are happy in what you do, you’re gonna kick the living shit outta life, and death will be a happy, well-earned sleep.

• Don’t believe the lies of the beautiful people; believe in yourself instead.

  Highlighted by 15 Kindle customers

• “I never trust a person without some kind of baggage.” Because those of us who have been through the war of life and survived usually have more heart. If you have heart and are honest, you have probably worked on yourself and therefore are trustworthy.

• Some people look at a rose and see romance and love. I see thorns and droplets of blood and heartbreak. I see the struggle to survive and connect and find a happy ending.
