Resident mockery, give us an hour for magic.
Jim Morrison
The Night is young & full of rest I can’t describe the way she’s dress’d She’ll pander to some strange requests Anything that you suggest Anything to please her guest.
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 . . .
Jim Morrison
...most of the press were vultures descending on the scene for curious America aplomb. Cameras inside the coffin interviewing worms.
Jim Morrison
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
Cinema, heir of alchemy, last of an erotic science.
Jim Morrison
Each generation wants new symbols, new people, new names. They want to divorce themselves from their predecessors.
Jim Morrison
People fear death even more than pain. It's strange that they fear death. Life hurts a lot more than death. At the point of death, the pain is over. Yeah, I guess it is a friend.
Jim Morrison
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
Windows work two ways, mirrors one way. You never walk through mirrors or swim through windows.
Jim Morrison
The time to hesitate is through.
Jim Morrison
Los Angeles is a city looking for a ritual to join its fragments, and The Doors are looking for such a ritual also. A kind of electric wedding. We hide ourselves in the music to reveal ourselves.
Jim Morrison
My great joy is to give form to reality. Music is a great release, a great enjoyment to me. Eventually I'd like to write something of great importance. That's my ambition - to write something worthwhile.
Jim Morrison
A man searching for paradise lost can seem a fool to those who never sought the other world.
Jim Morrison
No one gets out of here alive.
Jim Morrison
O great creator of being grant us one more hour to perform our art and perfect our lives.
Jim Morrison
Man, I'm sick of doubt.
Jim Morrison
Maybe primitive people have less bullshit to let go of, to give up. A person has to be willing to give up everything—not just wealth. All the bullshit he's been taught—all society's brainwashing. You have to let go of all that to get to the other side. Most people aren't willing to do that.
Jim Morrison
A hero is someone who rebels, or seems to rebel, against the facts of existence and seems to conquer them, but obviously that can work at moments.
Jim Morrison
Each day is a drive through history.
Jim Morrison
