Peter Vass

“People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that’s bullshit. 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? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they’re wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It’s all in how you carry it. That’s what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you’re letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain.”
― Jim Morrison

“A friend is someone who knows all about you and still loves you.”
― Elbert Hubbard

“Time to live, time to lie, time to laugh, and time to die. Take it easy baby. Take it as it comes.”
― Jim Morrison

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