Jim Morrison

Drugs are a bet with your mind.

Each generation wants new symbols, new people, new names. They want to divorce themselves from their predecessors.

Hatred is a very underestimated emotion.

It's like gambling somehow. You go out for a night of drinking and you don't know where your going to end up the next day. It could work out good or it could be disastrous. It's like the throw of the dice.

Blake said that the body was the soul's prison unless the five senses are fully developed and open. He considered the senses the 'windows of the soul.' When sex involves all the senses intensely, it can be like a mystical experence.

I'm interested in anything about revolt, disorder, chaos, especially activity that appears to have no meaning. It seems to me to be the road toward freedom.

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

Violence isn't always evil. What's evil is the infatuation with violence.

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.

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

Love cannot save you from your own fate.

Where's your will to be weird?

I believe in a long, prolonged, derangement of the senses in order to obtain the unknown.

The most loving parents and relatives commit murder with smiles on their faces. They force us to destroy the person we really are: a subtle kind of murder.

This is the strangest life I've ever known.

There are things known and things unknown and in between are the doors.

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

Whoever controls the media, controls the mind.

Sex is full of lies. The body tries to tell the truth. But, it's usually too battered with rules to be heard, and bound with pretenses so it can hardly move. We cripple ourselves with lies.

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