Where's your will to be weird?
Jim Morrison
Image
You know the day destroys the night, Night divides the day, Tried to run, Tried to hide, Break on through to the other side...
Jim Morrison
Image
Keep your eyes on the road, your hands upon the wheel.
Jim Morrison
Image
Actually I don't remember being born, it must have happened during one of my black outs.
Jim Morrison
Image
I like to let each thing happen - direct it a little consciously, maybe - but just kind of follow the vibrations I get in each particular circumstance. We don't plan theatrics. We hardly ever know which set we'll play.
Jim Morrison
Image
If my poetry aims to achieve anything, it's to deliver people from the limited ways in which they see and feel.
Jim Morrison
Image
Adolescence and early youth...the fires are burning fastest, right? And your energy level is highest. It demands...and rock is screaming type music.
Jim Morrison
Image
Do you know how pale & wanton thrillful comes death on a strange hour unannounced, unplanned for like a scaring over-friendly guest you've brought to bed Death makes angels of us all & gives us wings where we had shoulders smooth as raven's claws
Jim Morrison
Image
I offer images-I conjure memories of freedom that can still be reached-like the Doors, right? But we can only open the doors-we can't drag people through.
Jim Morrison
Image
The world becomes an apparently infinite, yet possibly finite, card game. Image combinations, permutations, comprise the world game.
Jim Morrison

Getting drunk . . . you're in complete control up to a point. It's your choice, every time you take a sip. You have a lot of small choices. It's like . . . I guess it's the difference between suicide and slow capitulation . . .

Blood is the rose of mysterious union.
Jim Morrison
Image
I like any reaction I can get with my music. Just anything to get people to think.
Jim Morrison

Cancel my subscription to the resurrection.
Jim Morrison
Image
No one thought up being. He who thinks he has, step forward.
Jim Morrison
Image
I think in art, but especially in films, people are trying to confirm their own existences.
Jim Morrison
Image
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
Image
We want the world and we want it...
Jim Morrison
Image
Is everybody in?... Is everybody in?... Is everybody in? The ceremony is about to begin... The program for this evening is not new. You've seen this entertainment through and through. You've seen your birth, your life and death. You might recall all the rest. Did you have a good world when you died? Enough to base a movie on?
Jim Morrison
Image
The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are...There can't be any large-scale revolution until there's a personal revolution, on an individual level. It's got to happen inside first.
Jim Morrison
