More quotes by Jack Kerouac
Write what you want bottomless from bottom of the mind.
Jack Kerouac
Somewhere along the line, the pearl would be handed to me.
Jack Kerouac
And then we’ll all go off to sweet life, ‘cause now is the time and we all know time!
Jack Kerouac
I'd rather hop freights around the country and cook my food out of tin cans over wood fires, than be rich and have a home or work.
Jack Kerouac
Thinking of the stars night after night I begin to realize 'The stars are words' and all the innumerable worlds in the Milky Way are words, and so is this world too. And I realize that no matter where I am, whether in a little room full of thought, or in this endless universe of stars and mountains, it’s all in my mind.
Jack Kerouac
Soon it got dusk, a grapy dusk, a purple dusk over tangerine groves and long melon fields the sun the color of pressed grapes, slashed with burgandy red, the fields the color of love and Spanish mysteries.
Jack Kerouac
all I wanted to do was sneak out into the night and disappear somewhere, and go and find out what everybody was doing all over the country.
Jack Kerouac
Bee, why are you staring at me? I am not a flower??
Jack Kerouac
Life must be rich and full of loving--it's no good otherwise, no good at all, for anyone.
Jack Kerouac
It’s not that I can’t fall in love. It’s really that I can’t help falling in love with too many things all at once. So, you must understand why I can’t distinguish between what’s platonic and what isn’t, because it’s all too much and not enough at the same time.
Jack Kerouac
The empty blue sky of space says 'All this comes back to me, then goes again, and comes back again, then goes again, and I don't care, it still belongs to me
Jack Kerouac
Sweet life continues in the breeze, in the golden fields.
Jack Kerouac
If you dont [sic] say what you want, what's the sense of writing?
Jack Kerouac
Be in love with your life, every detail of it.
Jack Kerouac
equally empty, equally to be loved, equally a coming Buddha
Jack Kerouac
At night I closed my eyes and saw my bones threading the mud of my grave.
Jack Kerouac
What does it mean that I am in this endless universe, thinking that I'm a man sitting under the stars on the terrace of the earth, but actually empty and awake throughout the emptiness and awakedness of everything? It means that I'm empty and awake, that I know I'm empty and awake, and that there's no difference between me and anything else.
Jack Kerouac
i wish the whole world was dead serious about food instead of silly rockets and machines and explosives using everybody's food money to blow their heads off anyway.
Jack Kerouac
It is possible for the human spirit to win after all.
Jack Kerouac
It was my dream that screwed up, the stupid hearthside idea that it would be wonderful to follow one great red line across America instead of trying various roads and routes.
Jack Kerouac
