“Control your life through insanity.”
When a man lies, he murders some part of the world. These are the pale deaths which men miscall their lives. All this I cannot bear to witness any longer. Cannot the Kingdom of Salvation take me home? (Poet Paul Gerhardt)
Interviewer: What would you say to a band that's just starting out on the rock scene today?
Cliff Burton: Quit!
"Personally, I would say the 'master' of this whole thing is fate... Whoever is on the playing field is fair game, and it's up to them to avoid being used."
“You don’t burn out from going too fast. You burn out from going too slow and getting bored.”
"We do what we want...... We don't care what anyone else thinks" -- from Cliff 'em All
"Every once in awhile we may fall on our face, but we insist on doing what we wanna do."
“We do what we wanna do--if they consider that selling out then… Whatever.”
Just fuckin' kill 'em all!
