Jack Kerouac

Great things are not accomplished by those who yield to trends and fads and popular opinion.

Jack Kerouac

I had nothing to offer anybody except my own confusion.

Jack Kerouac

I realized either I was crazy or the world was crazy; and I picked on the world. And of course I was right.

Jack Kerouac

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

Jack Kerouac

It’s only through form that we can realize emptiness.

Jack Kerouac

Life is life, and kind is kind.

Jack Kerouac

Man lowers his head and lunges into civilization, forgetting the days of his infancy when he sought truth in a snowflake or a stick. Man forgets the wisdom of the child.

Jack Kerouac

Man, wow, there’s so many things to do, so many things to write! How to even begin to get it all down and without modified restraints and all hung-up on like literary inhibitions and grammatical fears.

Jack Kerouac

Maybe that’s what life is… a wink of the eye and winking stars.

Jack Kerouac

Mind is the Maker, for no reason at all, for all this creation, created to fall.
