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
Image
I was a man of the earth, precisely as I had dreamed I would be.
Jack Kerouac
Image
So I rushed past the pretty girls, and the prettiest girls in the world live in Des Moines.
Jack Kerouac

No man should go through life without once experiencing healthy, even bored solitude in the wilderness, finding himself depending solely on himself and thereby learning his true and hidden strength
Jack Kerouac
Image
Things are so hard to figure out when you live from day to day in this feverish and silly world.
Jack Kerouac
Image
All of life is a foreign country.
