When you've understood this scripture, throw it away. If you can't understand this scripture, throw it away. I insist on your freedom.

Jack Kerouac 465 quotes

John Clellon Holmes... and I ...

John Clellon Holmes... and I were sitting around trying to think up the meaning of the Lost Generation and the subsequent existentialism and I said 'You know John, this is really a beat generation'; and he leapt up and said, 'That's it, that's right!'

Work from pithy middle eye out, swimming in language sea.

Jack Kerouac 465 quotes

The bartenders are the regula...

The bartenders are the regular band of Jack, and the heavenly drummer who looks up to the sky with blue eyes, with a beard, is wailing beer-caps of bottles and jamming on the cash register and everything is going to the beat - It's the beat generation, its b?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.

Jack Kerouac 465 quotes

Jumping from boulder to bould...

Jumping from boulder to boulder and never falling, with a heavy pack, is easier than it sounds; you just can't fall when you get into the rhythm of the dance.

Jack Kerouac 465 quotes

In all this welter of women I...

In all this welter of women I still hadn't got one for myself, not that I was trying too hard, but sometimes I felt lonely to see everybody paired off and having a good time and all I did was curl up in my sleeping bag in the rosebushes and sigh and say bah. For me it was just red wine in my mouth and a pile of firewood

The page is long, blank, and full of truth. When I am through with it, it shall probably be long, full, and empty with words.

I am always thinking 'What am I doing here? Is this the way I am supposed to feel?'

Jack Kerouac 465 quotes

It always makes me proud to love the world somehow- hate's so easy compared.

Jack Kerouac 465 quotes

Man lowers his head and lunge...

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 465 quotes

Mankind will someday realize ...

Mankind will someday realize that we are actually in contact with the dead and with the other world, whatever it is; right now we could predict, if we only exerted enough mental will, what is going to happen within the next hundred years and be able to take steps to avoid all kinds of catastrophes. When a man dies he undergoes a mutation in his brain that we know nothing about now but which will be very clear someday if scientists get on the ball. The bastards right now are only interested in seeing if they can blow up the world.

Jack Kerouac 465 quotes

Sometimes I’d get mad because...

Sometimes I’d get mad because things didn’t work out so well, I’d spoil a flapjack, or slip in the snowfield while getting water, or one time my shovel went sailing down into the gorge, and I’d be so mad I’d want to bite the mountaintops and would come in the shack and kick the cupboard and hurt my toe. But let the mind beware, though the flesh be bugged, the circumstances of existence are pretty glorious.

Jack Kerouac 465 quotes

Between incomprehensible and ...

Between incomprehensible and incoherent sits the madhouse. I am not in the madhouse.

Jack Kerouac 465 quotes

You have absolutely no regard...

You have absolutely no regard but yourself and your damned kicks. All you think about is what's hanging between your legs and how much money or fun you can get out of people and then you just throw them aside. Not only that but you're silly about it. It never occurs to you that life is serious and that there are people trying to make something decent out of it instead of just goofing all the time.
