Top 20 Jacks. No.8- Jack Kerouac
“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes ‘Awww!’”
“I like too many things and get all confused and hung-up running from one falling star to another till i drop. This is the night, what it does to you. I had nothing to offer anybody except my own confusion.”
“I hope it is true that a man can die and yet not only live in others but give them life, and not only life, but that great consciousness of life.”
“My fault, my failure, is not in the passions I have, but in my lack of control of them.”
“Maybe that’s what life is…a wink of the eye and winking stars.”
“Great things are not accomplished by those who yield to trends and fads and popular opinion.”
“What is the feeling when you’re driving away from people, and they recede on the plain till you see their specks dispersing? But we lean forward to the next crazy venture beneath the skies.””
“All human beings are also dream beings. Dreaming ties all mankind together.”
“My witness is the empty sky.”
“I had nothing to offer anybody except my own confusion”
