People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that's bull****. 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. ~ Jim Morrison 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 ~ 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. ~ Jim Morrison 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 and individual level. It's got to happen inside first. You can take away a man's political freedom and you won't hurt him- unless you take away his freedom to feel. That can destroy him. That kind of freedom can't be granted. Nobody can win it for you ~ 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.~ Jim Morrison I like people who shake other people up and make them feel uncomfortable ~ Jim Morrison Some of the worst mistakes of my life have been haircuts ~ Jim Morrison the future's uncertain and the end is always near ~ Jim Morrison Dec. 8, 1943 - July 3, 1971 R.I.P Lizard King
So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. ~ Bible
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. ~ Jim Morrison 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. ~ Jim Morrison A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself. ~ Jim Morrison When you make your peace with authority, you become authority. ~ 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. ~ Jim Morrison Dec. 8, 1943 - July 3, 1971 R.I.P Jimmy
You're all a bunch of fukking slaves! ~ Jim Morrison Dec. 8, 1943 - July 3, 1971 R.I.P Crawling King Snake

He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you. ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
"Life isn?t divided into genres. It?s a horrifying, romantic, tragic, comical, science-fiction cowboy detective novel. You know, with a bit of pornography if you're lucky." - Alan Moore "Stood in firelight, sweltering. Bloodstain on chest like map of violent new continent. Felt cleansed. Felt dark planet turn under my feet and knew what cats know that makes them scream like babies in night. Looked at sky through smoke heavy with human fat and God was not there. The cold, suffocating dark goes on forever and we are alone. Live our lives, lacking anything better to do. Devise reason later. Born from oblivion; bear children, hell-bound as ourselves, go into oblivion. There is nothing else. Existence is random. Has no pattern save what we imagine after staring at it for too long. No meaning save what we choose to impose. This rudderless world is not shaped by vague metaphysical forces. It is not God who kills the children. Not fate that butchers them or destiny that feeds them to the dogs. It?s us. Only us. Streets stank of fire. The void breathed hard on my heart, turning it's illusions to ice, shattering them. Was reborn then, free to scrawl own design on this morally blank world. Was Rorschach. Does that answer your questions, Doctor?" - Walter Kovacs "Rorschach" from Moore's Watchmen
Let`s just say I was testing the bounds of reality. I was curious to see what would happen. That`s all it was: just curiosity. ~ Jim Morrison Violence isn`t always evil. What`s evil is the infatuation with violence. ~ Jim Morrison Hatred is a very underestimated emotion. ~ Jim Morrison Actually I don't remember being born, it must have happened during one of my black outs. ~ Jim Morrison I believe in a long, prolonged derangement of the senses to attain the unknown. Our pale reasoning hides the infinite from us. ~ Jim Morrison I think in art, but especially in films, people are trying to confirm their own existences. ~ Jim Morrison The appeal of cinema lies in the fear of death. ~ Jim Morrison Death is only going to happen to you once; I don`t want to miss it. ~ Jim Morrison This is the strangest life I've ever known. ~ Jim Morrison R.I.P.

This is the end Beautiful friend This is the end My only friend, the end Of our elaborate plans, the end Of everything that stands, the end No safety or surprise, the end I'll never look into your eyes...again If only I could feel The sound of the sparrows & feel child hood pulling me back again If only I could feel me pulling back again & feel embraced by reality again I would die Gladly die Moment of inner freedom when the mind is opened and the infinite universe revealed & the soul is left to wander dazed & confus'd searching here & there for teachers & friends. Moment of Freedom as the prisoner blinks in the sun like a mole from his hole a child's 1st trip away from home That moment of Freedom Worship with words, with sounds, hands, all joyful playful & obscene-in the insane infant. There was preserved in her The fresh miracle of surprise Happy B-Day Jimmy! December 8, 1943
Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple ~ Dr. Seuss Adults are just obsolete children and the hell with them ~ Dr. Seuss
It is time to get drunk! So as not to be the martyred slaves of Time, get drunk; get drunk without stopping! On wine, on poetry, or on virtue, as you wish. --Charles Baudelaire
Life is to be lived, not controlled, and humanity is won by continuing to play in face of certain defeat ~ Ralph Ellison Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life? ~ Mary Oliver
Is this a dagger which I see before me, the handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee; I have thee not, and yet I see thee still. Art thou not, fatal vision, sensible to feeling as to sight? or art thou but a dagger of the mind, a false creation, proceeding from the heat-oppressed brain? I see thee yet, in form as palpable as this which now I draw. MacBeth, Act II Scene I, MacBeth, William Shakespeare
