"Maybe there is no Heaven. Or maybe this is all pure gibberish—a product of the demented imagination of a lazy drunken hillbilly with a heart full of hate who has found a way to live out where the real winds blow—to sleep late, have fun, get wild, drink whisky, and drive fast on empty streets with nothing in mind except falling in love and not getting arrested . . . Res ipsa loquitur. Let the good times roll."--HST

I love that quote I love Voltaire period good quotes girlie!!!

[rocketman]

“The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You trade in your sense for an act. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask. There can’t be any large-scale revolution until there’s a personal revolution, on and individual level. It’s got to happen inside first. You can take away a man’s political freedom and you won’t hurt him- unless you take away his freedom to feel. That can destroy him. That kind of freedom can’t be granted. Nobody can win it for you.”

Jim Morrison

“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 pretense. It’s true, we’re locked in an image, an act-”

Jim Morrison


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

“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.”

Two from "Tombstone".

"I'll be your hucklenerry".

"Kiss my lily-white ass".

[The Truth.]

"All things must come to a end, it is an INEVITABLE part of the cycle of existence. All things must conclude, take the analogy of the tree that grows in Brooklyn: among the steel, and concrete with all glorious branches, and leaves, one day It too will pass on it's legacy through the seeds that it drops to the ground. And as the wind carries these seeds throughout the land a new life will begin for each one of them as they stand as a monument for the one that came before it."

Nice one CD. good choice!
