Jim Morrison Quotes

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

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

What the people want, is they want a artist or a band to come along that’s just totally casting aside all the past and all the business associations. To give the impression ‘were doing this for a reason’ not because we are out here to make a lot of bread

I think the highest and lowest points are the important ones. Anything else is just…in between. I want the freedom to try everything

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.

Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.

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

If I had it, to do it all over again, I think I would have gone more for the quiet, undemonstrative, little artist plotting away in his own gardening

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.

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

I drink so I can talk to assholes

Where’s your will to be weird?

Really it was a lifestyle that was on trial more than any specific incident.

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

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 security…How can they expect me or anyone else to set them free if they don’t really want to be free?

There was a great renaissance of spirit and emotion and revolutionary sentiment. When things didn’t change overnight, I think people resented the fact that that we were still around doing good music.

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.

I see myself as a huge fiery comet, a shooting star. Everyone stops, points up and gasps “Oh look at that!” Then- whoosh, and I’m gone…and they’ll never see anything like it ever again… and they won’t be able to forget me- ever.

A hero is someone who rebels or seems to rebel against the facts of existence and seems to conquer them.
Obviously that can only work at moments. It can’t be a lasting thing.
That’s not saying that people shouldn’t keep trying to rebel against the facts of existence. Who knows, someday we might conquer death

Whoever controls the media, controls the mind.

I like any reaction I can get with my music. Just anything to get people to think. I mean if you can get a whole room full of drunk, stoned people to actually wake up and think, you’re doing something.

As I understand it, paranoia’s defined as an irrational fear. But what if the paranoia is real?

I think in art, but especially in films, people are trying to confirm their own existences

“Don’t be afraid to be a fool. Remember, you cannot be both young and wise. Young people who pretend to be wise to the ways of the world are mostly just cynics. Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the farthest thing from it. Because cynics don’t learn anything. Because cynicism is a self-imposed blindness, a rejection of the world because we are afraid it will hurt us or disappoint us. Cynics always say no. But saying yes begins things. Saying yes is how things grow. Saying yes leads to knowledge. “Yes” is for young people. So for as long as you have the strength to, say yes.”

“Tomorrow you’re all going to wake up in a brave new world, a world where the Constitution gets trampled by an army of terrorist clones, created in a stem-cell research lab run by homosexual doctors who sterilize their instruments over burning American flags. Where tax-and-spend Democrats take all your hard-earned money and use it to buy electric cars for National Public Radio, and teach evolution to illegal immigrants. Oh, and everybody’s high!”

“Equations are the devil’s sentences.”

“Look, PETA! If God hadn’t wanted us to eat animals, he wouldn’t have made them so darn tasty!”

“It is a well know fact that reality has liberal bias”

“All Dogs Go To Heaven? Sorry, kids. It’s only the dogs who’ve accepted Christ.”

“There’s an old saying about those who forget history. I don’t remember it, but it’s good.”

“Atheism, a religion dedicated to its own sense of smug superiority.”

“I’m the frosting on America’s cake, and tonight I’m willing to let you lick the bowl.”

“Here’s an easy way to figure out if you’re in a cult:If you’re wondering whether you’re in a cult, the answer is yes.”

“Baby carrots are making me gay.”

“They say the only people who tell the truth are drunkards and children. Guess which one I am.”

“Wikipedia is the first place I go when I’m looking for knowledge… or when I want to create some.”

“I may not agree with what you have to say but I will fight you to the death for the right to fight you to the death.”

“A father has to be a provider, a teacher, a role model, but most importantly, a distant authority figure who can never be pleased. Otherwise, how will children ever understand the concept of God?”

“You said in your book that at the end of the day, every politician is human. What about during the day?”

“The summer movies are coming out. My advice: just stay home and burn a good book.”
