Jim Morrison Biography

On himself:

“I am the lizard king. I can do anything.”

“Actually, I don’t remember being born, it must have happened during one of my black-outs!”

“Some of my worst mistakes have been haircuts”.

On life:

“Love cannot save you from your own fate”

“When you make your peace with authority, you become authority”.

Drink and drugs:

“Drugs are a bet with your mind.”

“It’s like gambling, somehow. You go out for a night of drinking and you don’t know where you’re 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.”

His work:

“I like any reaction I can get with my music. Just anything to get people to think. I mean, if you can get a whole room full of drunk, stoned people to actually wake up and think, you’re doing something.”

“Listen, real poetry doesn’t say anything; it just ticks off the possibilities. Opens all doors. You can walk through any one that suits you.”

Selected others:

“Whoever controls the media, controls the mind.”

“A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.”

“Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.”

“Hatred is a very underestimated emotion. “

“There are things known, and there are things unknown, and in between, there are the doors.”
