More quotes by Jack Kerouac
Something that you feel will find its own form.
Jack Kerouac
Dean and I both swayed to the rhythm and the IT of our final excited joy in talking and living to the blank traced end of all innumerable riotous angelic particulars that had been lurking in our souls all our lives.
Jack Kerouac
Mankind is like dogs, not gods - as long as you don't get mad they'll bite you - but stay mad and you'll never be bitten. Dogs don't respect humility and sorrow.
Jack Kerouac
Roaring dreams take place in a perfectly silent mind. Now that we know this, throw the raft away.
Jack Kerouac
I rather like the idea of having all my hours to myself: eating a Fudge Sundae, watching a movie, sleeping on my couch, singing in the bathroom, studying the woods, kidding around with a girl, playing cards lazily - all kinds of stuff that American brands 'shiftless.'
Jack Kerouac
Writing at least is a silent meditation even though you’re going a hundred miles an hour.
Jack Kerouac
Sure baby, mañana. It was always mañana. For the next few weeks that was all I heard––mañana a lovely word and one that probably means heaven.
Jack Kerouac
I'm Catholic and I can't commit suicide, but I plan to drink myself to death.
Jack Kerouac
It is not my fault that certain so-called bohemian elements have found in my writings something to hang their peculiar beatnik theories on.
Jack Kerouac

Jack Kerouac
Your Buddhism has made you mean Ray and makes you even afraid to take your clothes off for a simple healthy orgy
Jack Kerouac
I felt like lying down by the side of the trail and remembering it all
Jack Kerouac
I felt free and therefore I was free.
Jack Kerouac
It’s not that I can’t fall in love. It’s really that I can’t help falling in love with too many things all at once. So, you must understand why I can’t distinguish between what’s platonic and what isn’t, because it’s all too much and not enough at the same time.
Jack Kerouac
Ah Japhy you taught me the final lesson of them all, you can't fall off a mountain.
Jack Kerouac
Forgive everyone for your own sins and be sure to tell them you love them which you do.
Jack Kerouac
Mainly I've been back to my books and writings and being nice and quiet and lazy. As I'm writing this, the radio says there's a foot of snow falling on Long Island. I really love snow and wish I could take a long walk in it right now.
Jack Kerouac
I feel guilty for being a member of the human race.
Jack Kerouac
beautiful insane in the rain
Jack Kerouac
I realized either I was crazy or the world was crazy and I picked on the world. And of course I was right.
Jack Kerouac
