Jim Morrison

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.

Whoever controls the media, controls the mind.

Where's your will to be weird?

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

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

Love cannot save you from your own fate.

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

Some of the worst mistakes of my life have been haircuts.

We fear violence less than our own feelings. Personal, private, solitary pain is more terrifying than what anyone else can inflict.

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

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.

Hatred is a very underestimated emotion.

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

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.

Drugs are a bet with your mind.

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.

The appeal of cinema lies in the fear of death.

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

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.

Death makes angels of us all and gives us wings where we had shoulders smooth as ravens claws.

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.

Film spectators are quiet vampires.

Music inflames temperament.

When you make your peace with authority, you become authority.

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