Ken Kesey

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
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
Loved. You can't use it in the past tense. Death does not stop that love at all.
Ken Kesey
What makes people so impatient is what I can't figure all the guy had to do was wait.
Ken Kesey
To Vik Lovell who told me dragons did not exist, then led me to their lairs.
Ken Kesey
I been away a long time.
Ken Kesey
Anesthetized time nothing moves and everything is at once.
Ken Kesey
Ritual is necessary for us to know anything.
Ken Kesey
What do you think you are, for Chrissake, crazy or somethin'? Well you're not! You're not! You're no crazier than the average asshole out walkin' around on the streets and that's it.
Ken Kesey
