“In fighting and in every day life, you should be determined though calm. Meet the situation without tension yet not recklessly, your spirit settled yet unbiased. An elevated spirit is weak and a low spirit is weak. Do not let the enemy see your spirit”. – Miyamoto Musashi

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” – Marianne Williamson

“Never allow some one to be your priority, while allowing yourself to be their option.” – Author Unknown.

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
