Jack Kerouac

"It's always the same struggle within the souls of men that is the drama."

"The wink of the hidden god."

"Believe in the holy contour of life."

"I had nothing to lose but time."

"If you own a rug you own too much."

"Tell everybody now."

"I'm going to get out of Denver and start all over again."

"What's your road, man? Holyboy road?"

"All the things to do and no time to do them."

"My whole life is a contradiction."

"The Beat Generation was a generation of beatitude not of beat."

"I realized these were all the snapshots which our children would look at someday with wonder."

"I was a Dharma Bum."

"All of it a swoon, a blur."

"I tried at every moment to wake up before I died."

"Memory babe thinks of me."

"What does it mean that we are here? What's the purpose?"

"I want to penetrate the secret of things."

"Genius gives birth, talent it the activity of pushing those powers into significant detail."

"I have nothing to do with making me happy."

"The tears are falling from my eyes."

"We are all golden sunflowers inside."

"I felt free to roam anywhere I wanted."

"It's so nice to have a friend like you."

"I haven't got time to curse the darkness."

"Belief and hope are both wonderful but nothing comes of them if you don't support them."

"One day, whatever happens to you, quit playing, quit laughing, quit joking and face reality once and for all."

"I wanted to follow in the footsteps of the great buddhas of the past."

"All is permitted."

"It was a good day to get stuck and find out what it meant."
