If you're not creating, you're disintegrating.

That Jim Morrison song gets it all wrong. People are strange when you__e a stranger, but it__ not because they ignore you__t__ when they notice you and smile, that__ when you realize you__e alone out here. Their kindness is what makes you notice how weak you are. That__ when you know it__ not the city__ fault, it__ yours. These people are in the same strange town, but they__e not letting the strangeness eat them up and turn them into robots. That__ just you.

People are strange when you're a stranger.

The most loving parents and relatives commit murder with smiles on their faces. They force us to destroy the person we really are: a subtle kind of murder.

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

We fear violence less than our own feelings. Personal, private, solitary pain is more terrifying than what anyone else can inflict.

I refuse to believe that Hendrix had the last possessed hand,that Joplin had the last drunken throat,that Morrison had the last enlightened mind.
