Rob Quotes

“I've been clinically diagnosed with sociopathy,' I said. 'Do you know what that means?'
'It means you're a freak,' he said.
'It means that you're about as important to me as a cardboard box,' I said. 'You're just a thing - a piece of garbage that no one's thrown away yet. Is that what you want me to say?'
'Shut up,' said Rob. He was still acting tough, but I could see his bluster was starting to fail. He didn't know what to say.
'The thing about boxes,' I said, 'is that you can open them up. Even though they're completely boring on the outside, there might be something interesting inside. So while you're saying all of these stupid, boring things I'm imagining what it would be like to cut you open and see what you've got in there.”

Screaming with power in the air!
We've found the place where the decibels race
This army of rock will be there
To ram it down

Straight to the heart of this town.
Ram it down.
Ram it down.
Razing the place to the ground,
Ram it down!”
― Rob Halford

He stares for a minute, blinking, and then bursts into laughter. A few curious deer stick their heads through the shrubs to see what the racket is. Aladdin doubles over, laughing loud enough to startle birds from the trees overhead, and after a moment, I start laughing too. I haven’t laughed this hard in a long, long while, and it feels wonderful. We sit on the grass and laugh until our faces are red and we’re out of breath.

“To whom shall I speak today ?
Brothers are mean,
The friends of today do not love.
To whom shall I speak today?
Hearts are greedy,
Everyone robs his comrade's goods.
To whom shall I speak today ?
Kindness has perished,
Insolence assaults everyone.
To whom shall I speak today ?
One is content with evil,
Goodness is cast to the ground everywhere. To whom shall I speak today?
He who should enrage men by his crimes — He makes everyone laugh at his evildoing. To whom shall I speak today ?
Men plunder,
Everyone robs his comrade.
To whom shall I speak today ?
The criminal is one’s intimate,
The brother with whom one dealt is a foe.
To whom shall I speak today ?
The past is not remembered,
Now one does not help him who helped.
To whom shall I speak today ?
Brothers are mean,
One goes to strangers for affection.
To whom shall I speak today?
Faces are blank,
Everyone turns his face from his brothers.
To whom shall I speak today ?
Hearts are greedy,
No man’s heart can be relied on.
To whom shall I speak today ?
None are righteous,
The land is left to evildoers.
To whom shall I speak today ?
One lacks an intimate,
One resorts to an unknown to complain.
To whom shall I speak today ?
No one is cheerful,
He with whom one walked is no more.
To whom shall I speak today ?
I am burdened with grief
For lack of an intimate.
To whom shall I speak today ?
Wrong roams the earth,
And ends not.”
