Brandon Boyd Quotes

And for me, the real world involves everything: risk, danger, beauty, energy, all we meet with in the real world.

My favorite part of a roller-coaster ride is when you're going up and you're slightly scared and really excited. You don't know what's coming next but you know it's going to be good. You can't handle it, go on the carousel.

This sport is crazy, anything can happen.

I know that if I wasn't scared, something's wrong, because the thrill is what's scary.

Who knows, I have always lived one day at a time. Probably more adventure and excitement.

So give me a turbulent world as opposed to a quiet world and I'll take the turbulent one.

The truth, whether we admit it or not, is that grace scares us to death. It scares us primarily because it wrestles control and manageability out of our hands - introducing chaos and freedom.

I love the storm and fear the calm.

I crave for adventure. It makes me feel alive and excited. It's a constant tussle between what you want to do and other parameters that aren't in your hands.

The only rollercoasters I get on are startups.

Life, in both its knowing and its doing, has become today a "free fall," so to say, into the next minute, into the future. So that, whereas, formerly, those not wishing to hazard the adventure of an individual life could rest within the pale of a comfortably guaranteed social order, today all the walls have burst. It is not left to us to chooseto hazard the adventure of an unprecedented life: adventure is upon us, like a tidal wave.

And loss of control is always the source of fear. It is also, however, always the source of change.

There is a joy in danger.

Maybe tonight you're scared of falling, and maybe there's somebody here or somewhere else you're thinking about, worrying over, fretting over, trying to figure out if you want to fall, or how and when you're gonna land, and i gotta tell you, friends, to stop thinking about the landing, because it's all about falling.

Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.

Adventure without risk is Disneyland.

When you are live you never know what is going to happen.

The truth is this is a very dangerous world.

You never know what's going to happen next onstage.

I just really am trying, trying, all the time. But I like to be scared. I love to suddenly feel out of control.

I started skydiving because I loved the idea of freedom.

Life is a risk.

Life is lived on the edge.

The real world has always been far more exciting and funny and dangerous to me than anything somebody could conjure up sitting in front of a computer.

No one can enjoy freedom without trembling.
