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
In my madness I was actually in love with her for the few hours it all lasted it was the same unmistakable ache and stab across the mind, the same sighs, the same pain, and above all the same reluctance and fear to approach.
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
Better to sleep in an uncomfortable bed free, than sleep in a comfortable bed unfree.
Jack Kerouac
And still the Void is still and'll never move - But I will be the Void, moving without having moved.
Jack Kerouac

Jack Kerouac
Some's bastards, some's ain't. That's the score.
Jack Kerouac

Jack Kerouac
