" To get the best view of Jim Morrison you must go through the Doors, and the most important thing to remember about the Doors is that they were a band and each individual formed a side of the diamond that was the whole. One night, on the road, just before the concert was to begin, a disc jockey climbed on the stage and announced to the audience "ladies and gentlemen please welcome Jim Morrison and the Doors!" As th DJ walked down the stairs leading from the stage, Jim pulled him aside and said, " Uh-uh, man, you go back up there and introduce us right."... It's THE DOORS, ... the name of the band is The Doors""

" For me, it was never really an act, those so called performances. It was a life and death thing; an attempt to communicate, to involve many people into a private world of thought" - JDM

"I think of myself as an intelligent, sensitive human being, with the soul of a clown which forces me to blow it at the most inportant moments."
 

"I believe in a long, prolonged, derangement of the senses in order to obtain the unknown"
 

"Violence isn't always evil. What's evil is the infatuation with violence."

"There are things known and things unknown and in between are the doors..."
