More from Jack Kerouac
- Accept loss forever
- A pain stabbed my heart as it did every time I saw a girl I loved who was going the opposite direction in this too-big world.
- Believe in the holy contour of life
- 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.
- I want to work in revelations, not just spin silly tales for money. I want to fish as deep down as possible into my own subconscious in the belief that once that far down, everyone will understand because they are the same that far down.
- Maybe that’s what life is… a wink of the eye and winking stars.
