It made me think that everything was about to arrive - the moment when you know all and everything is decided forever. Jack Kerouac

Because in the end, you won't remember the time you spent working in the office or mowing your lawn. Climb that goddamn mountain. Jack Kerouac
All I wanted and all Neal wanted and all anybody wanted was some kind of penetration into the heart of things where, like in a womb, we could curl up and sleep the ecstatic sleep that Burroughs was experiencing with a good big mainline shot of M. and advertising executives in NY were experiencing with twelve Scotch & Sodas in Stouffers before they made the drunkard's train to Westchester---but without hangovers. Jack Kerouac

My aunt once said that the world would never find peace until men fell at their women's feet and asked for forgiveness. Jack Kerouac
The words are clear as in the reflection of the world on the water. Therefore write the Word at once, everywhere, from now till your hand is paralyzed, for THERE will be your work for GOD, since you can not work for God in other ways, and would not, & don't know how, or bend that way, from habit, & from talent in the use & signification & arrangement of the Word. Jack Kerouac
