Jim Morrison: Quotes about people

“I like people who shake other people up and make them feel uncomfortable.”

“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”

“People are strange when you're a stranger
Faces look ugly when you're alone”

“People are strange…”

“I've noticed that when people are joking they're usually dead serious, and when they're serious, they're usually pretty funny.”

“If my poetry aims to achieve anything, it's to deliver people from the limited ways in which they see and feel.”

“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?”

“That's what real love amounts to- letting a person be what he really is. Most people love you for who you pretend to be. To keep their love, you keep pretending- performing. You get to love your pretence. It's true, we're locked in an image, an act”

“When others demand that we become the people they want us to be, they force us to destroy the person we really are. It's a subtle kind of murder… the most loving parents and relatives commit this murder with smiles on their faces.”

“Each generation wants new symbols, new people, new names. They want to divorce themselves from their predecessors.”

“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.”

“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. ”
