Jack Kerouac. Quotes.










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...

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

The only truth is music...

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

I don't know, I don't care, and it doesn't make any difference...

The best teacher is experience and not through someone's distorted point of view...

All human beings are also dream beings. Dreaming ties all mankind together...

Happiness consists in realizing it is all a great strange dream...

There was nowhere to go but everywhere, so just keep on rolling under the stars.

...and everything is going to the beat - It's the beat generation, it be-at, it's the beat to keep, it's the beat of the heart, it's being beat and down in the world and like oldtime lowdown and like in ancient civilizations the slave boatmen rowing galleys to a beat and servants spinning pottery to a beat...

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!”...

and yet not only live in others but give them life, and not only life, but that great consciousness of life...

Quotes ~ Jack Kerouac.
