We're reaching for death on the end of a candle We're trying... - Jim Morrison

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

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

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

"No one here gets out alive."

"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."
