More quotes by Jack Kerouac
And then we’ll all go off to sweet life, ‘cause now is the time and we all know time!
Jack Kerouac
He had no place he could stay in without getting tired of it and because there was nowhere to go but everywhere, keep rolling under the stars.
Jack Kerouac
The whole mad swirl of everything that was to come began then.
Jack Kerouac
Parade my trouble in front of you guys? Make you realize that my heart is broken . . . that as long as I live I'll have chains dragging me down to the oceans of sad tears that my feet are wet in already.
Jack Kerouac
And I realize the unbearable anguish of insanity: how uninformed people can be thinking insane people are happy, O God, in fact it was Irwin Garden once warned me not to think the madhouses are full of happy nuts. (p. 200)
Jack Kerouac
I felt free and therefore I was free.
Jack Kerouac
I was amazed by the fact that I was not the only writer living, not the only young man with a locomotive in his chest, and that's a fact, not the only youth with a million hungers and not one of them appeasable, not the only one who is lonely among multitudes, and does not know why.
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
I have all the time in the world from life to life to do what is to do, to do what is done, to do the timeless doing.
Jack Kerouac
What do you want out of life? I asked, and I used to ask that all the time of girls.
Jack Kerouac
Don't tell them too much about your soul. They're waiting for just that.
Jack Kerouac
My eyes were glued on life and they were full of tears.
Jack Kerouac
There's wisdom in wine.
Jack Kerouac
My life is a vast inconsequential epic.
Jack Kerouac
Practice kindness all day to everybody and you will realize you're already in heaven now.
Jack Kerouac
Paris is a woman but London is an independent man puffing his pipe in a pub.
Jack Kerouac
But, outside of being a sweet little girl, she was awfully dumb and capable of doing horrible things.
Jack Kerouac
At night in this part of the West the stars, as I had seen them in Wyoming, were as big as Roman Candles and as lonely as the Prince who's lost his ancestral home and journeys across the spaces trying to find it again, and knows he never will.
Jack Kerouac
February dawn -- frost on the path Where I paced all winter.
Jack Kerouac
Be in love with your life, every detail of it.
Jack Kerouac
