More quotes by Jack Kerouac
Life is life, and kind is kind
Jack Kerouac
Because I cannot write my native language and have no native home anymore, and am amazed by that horrible homelessness of all French-Canadian s abroad in America.
Jack Kerouac
But, outside of being a sweet little girl, she was awfully dumb and capable of doing horrible things.
Jack Kerouac
No man should go through life without once experiencing healthy, even bored solitude in the wilderness, finding himself depending solely on himself and thereby learning his true and hidden strength
Jack Kerouac
And still the Void is still and'll never move - But I will be the Void, moving without having moved.
Jack Kerouac
Ah, life is a gate, a way, a path to Paradise anyway, why not live for fun and joy and love or some sort of girl by a fireside, why not go to your desire and LAUGH.
Jack Kerouac
You were my last chance' she's said but don't all women say that? - But can it be by 'last chance' she doesn't mean mere marriage but some profoundly sad realization of something in me she really needs to go on living, at least that impression coming across anyway on the force of all the gloom we've shared -
Jack Kerouac
I came to a point where I needed solitude and just stop the machine of ‘thinking’ and ‘enjoying’ what they call ‘living’, I just wanted to lie in the grass and look at the clouds.
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
Night is longer than day for those who dream & day is longer than night for those who make their dreams comes true.
Jack Kerouac
Life must be rich and full of loving--it's no good otherwise, no good at all, for anyone.
Jack Kerouac
Be crazy dumbsaint of the mind.
Jack Kerouac
Details are the Life of Prose.
Jack Kerouac
Pain or love or danger makes you real again.
Jack Kerouac
I realized that I had died and been reborn numberless times but just didn't remember because the transitions from life to death and back are so ghostly easy, a magical action for naught, like falling asleep and waking up again a million times, the utter casualness and deep ignorance of it.
Jack Kerouac
For the first time in my life the weather was not something that touched me, that caressed me, froze or sweated me, but became me.
Jack Kerouac
Will you love me in December as you do in May?
Jack Kerouac
The Beat Generation, that was a vision that we had, John Clellon Holmes and I, and Allen Ginsberg in an even wilder way, in the late forties, of a generation of crazy, illuminated hipsters suddenly rising and roaming America, serious, bumming and hitchhiking everywhere, ragged, beatific, beautiful in an ugly graceful new way.
Jack Kerouac
So therefore I dedicate myself, to my art, my sleep, my dreams, my labors, my suffrances, my loneliness, my unique madness, my endless absorption and hunger because I cannot dedicate myself to any fellow being.
Jack Kerouac
Mind is the Maker, for no reason at all, for all this creation, created to fall.
Jack Kerouac
