Jack Kerouac

I don’t really go out at all.

Jack Kerouac

I feel guilty for being a member of the human race.

I got all my boyhood in vanilla winter waves around the kitchen stove.

Jack Kerouac

I have fallen in love with you, God. Take care of us all, one way or the other.

Jack Kerouac

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.

Jack Kerouac

I like too many things and get all confused and hung-up running from one falling star to another til I drop.

I looked up at the dark sky and prayed to God for a better break in life and a better chance to do something for the little people I loved.

Jack Kerouac

I made myself famous by writing ‘songs’ and lyrics about the beauty of the things I did and ugliness, too.

Jack Kerouac

I promise I shall never give up, and that I’ll die yelling and laughing, and that until then I’ll rush around this world I insist is holy and pull at everyone’s lapel and make them confess to me and to all.

Jack Kerouac

I saw that my life was a vast glowing empty page and I could do anything I wanted.
