You are beautiful like demolition. Just the thought of you draws my knuckles white. I don’t need a god. I have you and your beautiful mouth, your hands holding onto me, the nails leaving unfelt wounds, your hot breath on my neck. The taste of your saliva. The darkness is ours. The nights belong to us. Everything we do is secret. Nothing we do will ever be understood; we will be feared and kept well away from. It will be the stuff of legend, endless discussion and limitless inspiration for the brave of heart. It’s you and me in this room, on this floor. Beyond life, beyond morality. We are gleaming animals painted in moonlit sweat glow. Our eyes turn to jewels and everything we do is an example of spontaneous perfection. I have been waiting all my life to be with you. My heart slams against my ribs when I think of the slaughtered nights I spent all over the world waiting to feel your touch. The time I annihilated while I waited like a man doing a life sentence. Now you’re here and everything we touch explodes, bursts into bloom or burns to ash. History atomizes and negates itself with our every shared breath. I need you like life needs life. I want you bad like a natural disaster. You are all I see. You are the only one I want to know. Henry Rollins
About This Quote

It is a popular saying that a person is as beautiful as they are brave. It is a standard saying used by many to show admiration. This can be interpreted as a combination of modern and classical ideals of beauty. In the past, the idea of being brave was not held in high regard.

People were often intimidated by courage and deemed it to be bizarre. In modern times, though, people have come to value bravery and courage as a virtue. The phrase, “You are beautiful like demolition,” can be interpreted as being brave in this way because it takes courage to demolish something that has been built up for many years.
