Ken Kesey
I've been to too many Dead concerts. There've been smokin' holes where my memory used to be.
Ken Kesey
You’re just a young kid. What are you doin’ here? You oughta be out in a convertible, why… bird-doggin’ chicks and bangin’ beaver. What are ya doin’ here, for Christ’s sake? What’s funny about that? Jesus, I mean, you guys do nothin’ but complain about how you can’t stand it in this place here and then you haven’t got the guts just to walk out!
Ken Kesey
There are going to be times when we can't wait for somebody. Now, you're either on the bus or off the bus.
Ken Kesey
Man, when you lose your laugh you lose your footing.
Ken Kesey
There are going to be times when we can't wait for somebody. Now, you're either on the bus or off the bus. If you're on the bus, and you get left behind, then you'll find it again. If you're off the bus in the first place — then it won't make a damn.
