I think the day I finally was forced to realize that no one in the world really knows any more about what’s going on than any other person, I kind of lost interest in philosophy as a study of ideas, but philosophy appreciated from the standpoint of how men in the past have used words, have used language. That’s why for me poetry is the ultimate art form, because what defines us as human beings is language. The way we talk is the way we think, and the way we think is the way we act, and the way we act is what we are.
If my poetry aims to achieve anything, it’s to deliver people from the limited ways in which they see and feel.
Jim Morrison
