Quote: Jim Morrison
You must use at least three consecutive words from the following quote. It is not necessary to maintain punctuation/letter casing and you may substitue alternate characters for words where appropriate (e.g. and with &). You are not allowed to incorporate any external text with the exception of tinytext/brushes that are purely decorative and not legible.
"The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You trade in your sense for an act. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask. There can't be any large-scale revolution until there's a personal revolution, on an individual level. It's got to happen inside first. You can take away a man's political freedom and you won't hurt him- unless you take away his freedom to feel. That can destroy him. That kind of freedom can't be granted. Nobody can win it for you." - Jim Morrison
And remember that each icon you enter earns you one ballot for June's Submitter of the Month contest as well as a set number of cards for TCG Exchange if you choose to participate there.
Please submit your icon by uploading it to an outside host that allows direct linking, then leave a screened comment to this post with your icon, url, theme, character (object/location) and series. It is not necessary to include character/series information if doing the image challenge. Also include any additional required information and/or specific resource credits that you may have used.
