Jack Kerouac

"My fault, my failure, is not in the passions I have, but in my lack of control of them."

"Don't use the phone. People are never ready to answer it. Use poetry."

"Scribbled secret notebooks, and wild typewritten pages, for yr own joy"

"The only truth is music."

"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."

"And the story of love is a long sad tale ending in graves."

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

"Be in love with your life, every detail of it."

"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."

"It is possible for the human spirit to win after all."

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

"Live, travel, adventure, bless, and don't be sorry."
