More quotes by Jack Kerouac
Rest and be kind, you don't have to prove anything
Jack Kerouac
One night I realized that when you give people understanding and encouragement a funny little meek childish look abashes their eyes, no matter what they've been doing they weren't sure it was right - lambies all over the world.
Jack Kerouac
I felt like lying down by the side of the trail and remembering it all
Jack Kerouac
And I will die, and you will die, and we all will die, and even the stars will fade out one after another in time.
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 came to a point where I needed solitude and just stop the machine of ‘thinking’ and ‘enjoying’ what they call ‘living’, I just wanted to lie in the grass and look at the clouds.
Jack Kerouac

Jack Kerouac
I'll go to the south of Sicily in the winter, and paint memories of Arles – I'll buy a piano and Mozart me that – I'll write long sad tales about people in the legend of my life – This part is my part of the movie, let's hear yours
Jack Kerouac
Things are so hard to figure out when you live from day to day in this feverish and silly world.
Jack Kerouac
I don't know, I don't care, and it doesn't make any difference.
Jack Kerouac
the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.
Jack Kerouac
One day I will find the right words, and they will be simple.
Jack Kerouac
Write in recollection and amazement for yourself.
Jack Kerouac
Burroughs is the greatest satirical writer since Jonathan Swift.
Jack Kerouac
I promise I shall never give up, and that I'll die yelling & laughing.
Jack Kerouac
As far as I'm concerned the only thing to do is sit in a room and get drunk
Jack Kerouac
