Alejandro Jodorowsky Quotes
Many people effectively stop carrying out what it's called 'life's a movie.' The majority of people want to be like others, and this drives them to a death in life. It is necessary to find what distinguishes us from others in order to be something. To the extent that we try to be like others, we convert ourselves into zombies.
