More quotes by Ken Kesey
- he's finished with that it's like an old clock that won't tell time but won't stop neither, with the hands bent out of shape and the face bare of numbers and the alarm bell rusted silent, an old worthless clock that just keeps ticking and cuckooing without meaning nothing.
Ken Kesey
Anesthetized time nothing moves and everything is at once.
Ken Kesey
There’s no doubt in my mind that McMurphy’s won, but I’m not sure what.

Ken Kesey

Ken Kesey
I was raised a Christian and was a stone-faced acid head.
Ken Kesey

Ken Kesey
Always stay in your own movie.
Ken Kesey
You seem to forget, Miss Flinn, that this is an institution for the insane.
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
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
The dead's dead ... get 'em in the ground and look to the live ones.
Ken Kesey
The job is to seek mystery, evoke mystery, plant a garden in which strange plants grow and mysteries bloom. The need for mystery is greater than the need for an answer.
Ken Kesey
I've enjoyed being a famous writer-except that every once in a while you have to write something.
Ken Kesey
It is just as much an offense to take offense as it is to give offense.
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.
