The best Quotes by Kurt Cobain (2024)

The duty of youth is to challenge corruption.

It's better to burn out than to fade away

Nobody dies a virgin. Life f*cks us all.

It's better to be hated for the person you are, than to be loved for the person you're not.

Frances and Courtney, I'll be at your altar. Please keep going Courtney, for Frances for her life will be so much happier without me. I LOVE YOU. I LOVE YOU!

Rather be dead than cool.

If it's illegal to rock and roll, throw my ass in jail!

I'm so happy because today I found my friends - they're in my head.

I guess, in a way, anyone with enough ambition to create and not take away is someone who deserves respect.

I am not gay. Although I wish I were, just to piss off hom*ophobes.

Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are.

At this point I have a request for our fans. If any of you in any way hate hom*osexuals, people of different color, or women, please do this one favor for us - leave us the f*ck alone! Don't come to our shows and don't buy our records.

I like the Beatles, but I hate Paul McCartney. I like Led Zeppelin, but I hate Robert Plant. I like The Who, but I hate Roger Daltrey.

I just can't believe anyone would start a band just to make the scene and be cool and have chicks. I just can't believe it.

If I went to jail, at least I wouldn't have to sign autographs.

I knew I was different. I thought that I might be gay or something because I couldn't identify with any of the guys at all. None of them liked art or music, they just wanted to fight and get laid. It was many years ago but it gave me this real hatred for the average American macho male.

Rap music is the only vital form of music introduced since punk rock.

Take me away, like I overdosed on cocaine
Or take me away like a bullet from Kurt Cobain, suicide
I'm from a windy city like Do or Die

The Game - My Life, Album: LAX

Kurt Cobain jeans, you my Courtney Love
Thraxxl Rose how I got the club going up
Taking bars for anxiety
Smoking kush is my therapy

Cold Hart - Dying

Her with a tattoo, you with a wristband. That's like the ultimate wrong-side-of-the-tracks love story. Seriously, you are the Sid to her Nancy, the Kurt to her Courtney. The 50 Cent to... Mrs. Cent.

It's okay to eat fish, 'cause they don't have any feelings.

Why can't you compare Washington State and Florida?
Because it'd be like comparing apples and oranges.

One doesn't soon forget the natural beauty of Washington, although those of us who live here do sometimes take it for granted.

It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.

Songs are as sad as the listener.

I know it's true
It's all because of you
And if you go away
I know you could never stay

May she rest in peace.
Long live The King.

Roger Daltrey

Sometimes you must hurt in order to know, fall in order to grow, lose in order to gain. Because life's greatest lessons are learned through pain.

Pain / Nagato in Naruto

I don't care if you're black, white, straight, bisexual, gay, lesbian, short, tall, fat, skinny, rich or poor. If you're nice to me, I'll be nice to you. Simple as that.

Eminem

It's Game, sick in the brain
Sick as the day that I came
Hennessy runnin' through my veins, I load up the clip and aim
Sick of you n-gas talkin' like you won't get wet in the rain

Girl, you got stars for eyes
And she sweet like Texas tea
With an ass from Tennessee
And we can take the long way home

Congratulations. You're a Cohen. Welcome to a life of insecurity and paralyzing self-doubt.

You know what I like about rich kids? Nothing!

Ryan Atwood in The O.C. - Season 1 Episode 2

From the beginnin' to the end
Losers lose, winners win
This is real we ain't got to pretend
The cold world that we in
Is full of pressure and pain
Enough of me n*gga, now listen to Game

Rock isn't about getting an A. Sex Pistols never won anything.

Freddy Jones in School of Rock

Do we have to know who's gay and who's straight? Can't we just love everybody and judge them by the car they drive?
