What a horror it would have been if the world was real, because if the world was real, it would be immortal.
Jack Kerouac
Image
I feel guilty for being a member of the human race.
Jack Kerouac

You seek identity in the midst of indistinguishab le chaos, in sprawling nameless reality.
Jack Kerouac

I don't know, I don't care, and it doesn't make any difference.
Jack Kerouac

...do you think God made the world to amuse himself because he was bored? Because if so he would have to be mean.
