7 Jim Morrison Quotes on Society

Jim Morrison quotes on society

35. resident mockery give us an hour for magic

40. They're making a joke of our universe

42. Do you know freedom exists in a school book

45. What that book (Lords and New Creatures) is a lot about is the powerlessness that people have in the face of reality. They have no real control over events or their own lives. Something is controlling them. The closest they ever get is the television set.

54. 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. I can't free them unless they want to be free. 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 that 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.

59. I think there's a whole region of images and feelings inside us that rarely are given outlet in daily life. And when they do come out, they can take perverse forms. It's the dark side. Everyone, when he sees it, recognizes the same thing in himself. It's a recognition of forces that rarely see the light of day. The more civilized we get on the surface, the more the other forces make their plea.

84. Sex is full of lies. The body tries to tell the truth. But, it's usually too battered with rules to be heard, and bound with pretenses so it can hardly move. We cripple ourselves with lies.
