Quotes By Jim Morrison
We fear violence less than our own feelings. Personal, private, solitary pain is more terrifying than what anyone else can inflict.
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
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.
Jim Morrison
Death makes angels of us all and gives us wings where we had shoulders smooth as ravens claws.
Jim Morrison
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.
Jim Morrison
If my poetry aims to achieve anything, it's to deliver people from the limited ways in which they see and feel.

Jim Morrison
Each generation wants new symbols, new people, new names. They want to divorce themselves from their predecessors.
Jim Morrison
I believe in a long, prolonged, derangement of the senses in order to obtain the unknown.
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.
Jim Morrison
Actually I don't remember being born, it must have happened during one of my black outs.
Jim Morrison
Listen, real poetry doesn't say anything; it just ticks off the possibilities. Opens all doors. You can walk through anyone that suits you.
Jim Morrison
I think in art, but especially in films, people are trying to confirm their own existences.
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.
Jim Morrison
