More quotes by Ken Kesey
Anti-drug fanatics and cops are the criminals - it's like McCarthyism. They need someone to dislike to distract the public from the really important problems.
Ken Kesey
If you don't watch it people will force you one way or the other, into doing what they think you should do, or into just being mule-stubborn and doing the opposite out of spite.
Ken Kesey
You've got to get out and pray to the sky to appreciate the sunshine otherwise you're just a lizard standing there with the sun shining on you.
Ken Kesey
Things you think you're saying for the first time ever, have been said better before by Shakespeare, though they may need saying again.
Ken Kesey
Man, when you lose your laugh you lose your footing.
Ken Kesey
I been silent so long now it’s gonna roar out of me like floodwaters and you think the guy telling this is ranting and raving my God you think this is too horrible to have really happened, this is too awful to be the truth! But, please. It’s still hard for me to have a clear mind thinking on it. But it’s the truth even if it didn’t happen.
Ken Kesey
It is just as much an offense to take offense as it is to give offense.

Then - as he was talking - a set of tail-lights going past lit up McMurphy's face, and the windshield reflected an expression that was allowed only because he figured it'd be too dark for anybody in the car to see, dreadfully tired and strained and frantic, like there wasn't enough time left for something he had to do.
Ken Kesey
But the rest are even scared to open up and laugh. You know, that's the first thing that got me about this place, that there wasn't anybody laughing. I haven't heard a real laugh since I came through that door, do you know that? Man, when you lose your laugh you lose your footing.
Ken Kesey
The raw materials of reality without the glue of time are materials adrift and reality is as meaningless as the balsa parts of a model airplane scattered to the wind.
Ken Kesey
Sometimes I looked at them and sometimes they looked at me, but rarely did we look at one another.
Ken Kesey
Anesthetized time nothing moves and everything is at once.
Ken Kesey
That ain't me, that ain't my face. It wasn't even me when I was trying to be that face. I wasn't even really me them I was just being the way I looked, the way people wanted.
Ken Kesey
I've been to too many Dead concerts. There've been smokin' holes where my memory used to be.
Ken Kesey
What can you pay for the way a man lives? What can you pay for what a man is?
Ken Kesey
I've enjoyed being a famous writer-except that every once in a while you have to write something.
Ken Kesey
I used to think we were going to win in the '60s. Nixon went out and I thought we won.
Ken Kesey
See with your ears and hear with your eyes.
Ken Kesey
I've never seen crack or a lot of these new drugs. Don't know anything about them. I don't know what they do for you, or whether they do anything good for you or not. But I do still have a lot of faith in the spiritual purity of LSD and pot.
