Jim Morrison

"This is the strangest life I have ever known."

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

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

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

"We're reaching for death on the end of a candle We're trying for something that's already found us"

"The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You trade in your sense for an act. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask. There can't be any large-scale revolution until there's a personal revolution, on an individual level. It's got to happen inside first."

"I think the highest and lowest points are the important ones. Anything else is just...in between."

"A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself."

"I've noticed that when people are joking they're usually dead serious, and when they're serious, they're usually pretty funny."

"The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You trade in your sense for an act. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask. There can't be any large-scale revolution until there's a personal revolution, on an individual level. It's got to happen inside first."

"No one here gets out alive."

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

"No one here gets out alive."

"Some of the worst mistakes in my life were haircuts"

"Friends can help each other. A true friend is someone who lets you have total freedom to be yourself - and especially to feel. Or, not feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at the moment is fine with them. That's what real love amounts to - letting a person be what he really is."

"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."
