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
Dean's California--wild, sweaty, important, the land of lonely and exiled and eccentric lovers come to forgather like birds, and the land where everybody somehow looked like broken-down, handsome, decadent movie actors.
Jack Kerouac
And the Hippos were boiled in their tanks!
Jack Kerouac
And then we’ll all go off to sweet life, ‘cause now is the time and we all know time!
Jack Kerouac
I don't wanta hear all your word descriptions of words words words you made up all winter, man I wanta be enlightened by actions.
Jack Kerouac
i wish the whole world was dead serious about food instead of silly rockets and machines and explosives using everybody's food money to blow their heads off anyway.
Jack Kerouac
February dawn -- frost on the path Where I paced all winter.
Jack Kerouac
