More quotes by Ken Kesey

Ken Kesey

Ken Kesey
I sometimes have these spells of compulsive truth. But as Lady Macbeth would say, The fit is momentary.
Ken Kesey
He Who Marches Out Of Step Hears Another Drum
Ken Kesey
Your trouble is, you keep trying to unscrew the unscrutable.
Ken Kesey
What makes people so impatient is what I can't figure all the guy had to do was wait.
Ken Kesey
You don't lead by pointing and telling people some place to go. You lead by going to that place and making a case.
Ken Kesey
I had to keep on acting deaf if i wanted to hear at all.
Ken Kesey
Man, when you lose your laugh you lose your footing.
Ken Kesey
The man who seeks revenge digs two graves.
Ken Kesey
Loved. You can't use it in the past tense. Death does not stop that love at all.
Ken Kesey
People think love is an emotion. Love is good sense.
Ken Kesey
If you don't watch it people will force you one way or the other, into doing what they think you should do, or into just being mule-stubborn and doing the opposite out of spite.
