A man searching for paradise lost can seem a fool to those who never sought the other world.
Jim MorrisonTwentieth-century culture's disease is the inability to feel their reality. People cluster to TV, soap operas, movies, theater, pop idols and they have wild emotion over symbols. But in the reality of their own lives, they're emotionally dead.
Jim Morrisonthe time to hesitate is through no time to wallowin the mire Try now we can only lose and our love become a funeral pyre
Jim MorrisonI think in art, but especially in films, people are trying to confirm their own existences.
Jim MorrisonPeople 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.
Jim Morrison
