Jim Morrison


People are strange 
when you're a stranger
Faces look ugly
when you're alone 



“Time to live, time to lie, time to laugh, and time to die. 
Take it easy baby. Take it as it comes.” 


“There are no laws, there are no rules, just grab your friend and love him.” 


“We're reaching for death 
on the end of a candle 
We're trying for something 
that's already found us” 



"Where's your will to be weird?"



“People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that’s bullshit. 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.” 



“It may have been in pieces, but I gave you the best of me.” 


“No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn.” 



"There's danger on the edge of town
Ride the King's highway, baby
Weird scenes inside the gold mine
Ride the highway west, baby
Ride the snake, ride the snake
To the lake, the ancient lake, baby
The snake is long, seven miles
Ride the snake...he's old, and his skin is cold
The west is the best
The west is the best
Get here, and we'll do the rest"



“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 - and the sad thing is, people get so used to their image, they grow attached to their masks. They love their chains. They forget all about who they really are. And if you try to remind them, they hate you for it, they feel like you're trying to steal their most precious possession.” 


RIP Jim December 8, 1943 – July 3, 1971
