More quotes by Ken Kesey
The answer is never the answer. What's really interesting is the mystery.
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
But it's the truth even if it didn't happen.
Ken Kesey
To Vik Lovell who told me dragons did not exist, then led me to their lairs.
Ken Kesey
There’s no doubt in my mind that McMurphy’s won, but I’m not sure what.

Ken Kesey

Ken Kesey

Ken Kesey
Memory whispers someplace in that jumbled machinery.
Ken Kesey
She asked if we were calm enough for her to take off the cuffs, and McMurphy nodded. He had slumped over with his head hung and his elbows between his knees and looked completely exhausted--it hadn't occurred to me that it was just as hard for him to stand straight as it was for me.
Ken Kesey
What makes people so impatient is what I can't figure all the guy had to do was wait.
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
Always stay in your own movie.
Ken Kesey
Good writin' ain't necessarily good readin'.
Ken Kesey
He Who Marches Out Of Step Hears Another Drum
Ken Kesey
Like a cartoon world, where the figures are flat and outlined in black, jerking through some kind of goofy story that might be real funny if it weren't for the cartoon figures being real guys.
