Roberta Bartolo > Roberta's Quotes

“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

“It may have been in pieces, but I gave you the best of me.”
― Jim Morrison

“There are no laws, there are no rules, just grab your friend and love him.”
― Jim Morrison

“It is better to lose your pride with someone you love rather than to lose that someone you love with your useless pride.”
― John Ruskin
