Jack Kerouac

Jack Kerouac
Who doesn't feel studious when he doesn't have a girl with a Riviera suntan?
Jack Kerouac
and the stars were icicles of mockery
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
Be in love with your life, every detail of it.
Jack Kerouac
