To Further Explain My Love For Jim Morrison...

Current Mood:  Chill

"I think of myself as an intelligent, sensitive human being with the soul of a clown which always forces me to blow it at the most important moments."

"That's what real love amounts to- letting a person be what he really is. Most people love you for who you pretend to be. To keep their love, you keep pretending- performing. You get to love your pretence. It's true, we're locked in an image, an act-"

"Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free."

"Love cannot save you from your own fate."

"I like people who shake other people up and make them feel uncomfortable."

"People fear death even more than pain. It's strange that they fear death. Life hurts a lot more than death. At the point of death, the pain is over. Yeah, I guess it is a friend..."

"Death makes angels of us all and gives us wings where we had shoulders smooth as ravens claws."

"Where's your will to be weird?"

"I wouldn't mind dying in a plane crash. It'd be a good way to go. I don't want to die in my sleep, or of old age, or OD...I want to feel what it's like. I want to taste it, hear it, smell it. Death is only going to happen to you once; I don't want to miss it."

"This is the strangest life I've ever known."

"Being drunk is a good disguise. I drink so I can talk to assholes. This includes me."

"The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. ...You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask."

"I think in art, but especially in films, people are trying to confirm their own existences."

"When you make your peace with authority, you become authority."

"Some of the worst mistakes of my life have been haircuts."

"Listen, real poetry doesn't say anything; it just ticks off the possibilities. Opens all doors. You can walk through anyone that suits you."

"Actually I don't remember being born, It must have happened during one of my black outs."

"If my poetry aims to achieve anything, it's to deliver people from the limited ways in which they see and feel."

"You're all a bunch of fuckin' slaves!"
