More quotes by Ken Kesey

Ken Kesey
You had a choice: you could either strain and look at things that appeared in front of you in the fog, painful as it might be, or you could relax and lose yourself
Ken Kesey
I been silent so long now it’s gonna roar out of me like floodwaters and you think the guy telling this is ranting and raving my God you think this is too horrible to have really happened, this is too awful to be the truth! But, please. It’s still hard for me to have a clear mind thinking on it. But it’s the truth even if it didn’t happen.
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.
Ken Kesey
A sound of cornered-animal fear and hate and surrender and defiance . . . like the last sound the treed and shot and falling animal makes as the dogs get him, when he finally doesn't care about anything but himself and his dying.
Ken Kesey

Ken Kesey

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
Ritual is necessary for us to know anything.
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
His whole body shakes with the strain as he tries to lift something he knows he can't lift, something everybody knows he can't lift. But, for just a second, when we hear the cement grind at our feet, we think, by golly, he might do it.
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
The Haight is just a place the '60s was a spirit.
Ken Kesey
The world news might not be therapeutic.
Ken Kesey
It is just as much an offense to take offense as it is to give offense.
Ken Kesey
I had to keep on acting deaf if i wanted to hear at all.
Ken Kesey
Memory whispers someplace in that jumbled machinery.
Ken Kesey
What can you pay for the way a man lives? What can you pay for what a man is?
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
It is bad to suppress laughter. It goes back down to your hips. Man, when you lose your laugh you lose your footing.
