I see as much as doors'll allow, open or shut.
Jack Kerouac
Image
It seemed like a matter of minutes when we began rolling in the foothills before Oakland and suddenly reached a height and saw stretched out ahead of us the fabulous white city of San Francisco on her eleven mystic hills with the blue Pacific and its advancing wall of potato-patch fog beyond, and smoke and goldenness in the late afternoon of time.

It is possible for the human spirit to win after all.
Jack Kerouac
Image
If you own a rug you own too much.
Jack Kerouac
