Quote by -Jim Morrison

Quote by -Jim Morrison
"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."
Quote by -Jim Morrison
"I am interested in anything about revolt, disorder, chaos-especially activity that seems to have no meaning. It seems to me to be the road toward freedom... Rather than starting inside, I start outside and reach the mental through the physical."
Quote by -Jim Morrison
"People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that's bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they're afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain."
Quote by -Jim Morrison
"I am interested in anything about revolt, disorder , chaos-especially activity that seems to have no meaning. It seems to me to be the road toward freedom... Rather than starting inside, I start outside and reach the mental through the physical."
Quote by -Jim Morrison
"Let's just say I was testing the bounds of reality. I was curious to see what would happen. That's all it was: curiosity."
Quote by -Jim Morrison
"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."
Quote by -Jim Morrison
"I believe in a long, prolonged, derangement of the senses in order to obtain the unknown."
Quote by -Jim Morrison
"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."
Quote by -Jim Morrison
"Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free."
Quote by -Jim Morrison
"If my poetry aims to achieve anything, it's to deliver people from the limited ways in which they see and feel."
Quote by -Jim Morrison
"Each generation wants new symbols, new people, new names. They want to divorce themselves from their predecessors."
Quote by -Jim Morrison
"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."
Quote by -Jim Morrison
"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."
Quote by -Jim Morrison
"I've always liked reptiles. I used to see the universe as a mammoth snake, and I used to see all the people and objects, landscapes, as little pictures in the facets of their scales. I think peristaltic motion is the basic life movement. Swallowing,"
Quote by -Jim Morrison
"How can I set free anyone who doesn't have the guts to stand up alone and declare his own freedom? I think it's a lie people claim they want to be free everybody insists that freedom is what they want the most, the most sacred and precious thing a man can possess. But that's bullshit! People are terrified to be set free they hold on to their chains. They fight anyone who tries to break those chains. It's their securityHow can they expect me or anyone else to set them free if they don't really want to be free?"
