"People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality - their feelings most of all.  People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous.  People try to hide their pain.  But they're wrong.  You feel your strength in the experience of pain.  Pain is a feeling.  Your feelings are a part of you.  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
