More quotes by Jack Kerouac
Some's bastards, some's ain't. That's the score.
Jack Kerouac
No time for poetry but exactly what is.
Jack Kerouac
Swinging on delicate hinges the autumn leaf almost off the stem.
Jack Kerouac
The air was so sweet in New Orleans it seemed to come in soft bandannas and you could smell the river and really smell the people, and mud, and molasses, and every kind of tropical exhalation, with your nose suddenly removed from the dry ices of a Northern winter.
Jack Kerouac
There's wisdom in wine.
Jack Kerouac
Genius gives birth, talent delivers. What Rembrandt or Van Gogh saw in the night can never be seen again.
Jack Kerouac
I was a man of the earth, precisely as I had dreamed I would be.

Jack Kerouac
All of life is a foreign country.
Jack Kerouac
Rest and be kind, you don't have to prove anything
Jack Kerouac
Parade my trouble in front of you guys? Make you realize that my heart is broken . . . that as long as I live I'll have chains dragging me down to the oceans of sad tears that my feet are wet in already.
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
I swore I'd be in Chicago tomorrow, and made sure of that, taking a bus to Chicago, spending most of my money, and didn't give a damn, just as long as I'd be in Chicago tomorrow.
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
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
Write what you want bottomless from bottom of the mind.
Jack Kerouac
It was the work of the quiet mountains, this torrent of purity at my feet.
Jack Kerouac
Details are the Life of Prose.
Jack Kerouac
The smog was heavy, my eyes were weeping from it, the sun was hot, the air stank, a regular hell is L.A.
Jack Kerouac
It was a rainy night. It was the myth of the rainy night.
Jack Kerouac
