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
To Vik Lovell who told me dragons did not exist, then led me to their lairs.
Ken Kesey
Memory whispers someplace in that jumbled machinery.
Ken Kesey
But it's the truth even if it didn't happen.
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
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
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.
Ken Kesey
Ocean, Ocean I'll beat you in the end.
Ken Kesey
The dead's dead ... get 'em in the ground and look to the live ones.
Ken Kesey
Men are forever eager to press drink upon those they consider their superiors, hoping thereby to eliminate that distinction between them.... And women, when confronted by superiors, substitute for drink the crippling liquor of their sex.
Ken Kesey
When you love someone it is forever, or it was never really love at all.
Ken Kesey
Good writin' ain't necessarily good readin'.
Ken Kesey
If you've got love in your heart, whatever you do from that moment out is likely to be right. If you've got that one true note ringing inside you, then whatever you do is going to be OK.
Ken Kesey
The man who seeks revenge digs two graves.
Ken Kesey
This world… belongs to the strong, my friend! The ritual of our existence is based on the strong getting stronger by devouring the weak.
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
To hell with facts! We need stories.
Ken Kesey
Now, you’re either on the bus or you’re off the bus.
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.
