Jack Kerouac quotes about
tonight world causes
We should be wondering tonight, "Is there a world?" But I could go and talk on 5, 10, 20 minutes about is there a world, because there is really no world, cause sometimes I'm walkin' on the ground and I see right through the ground. And there is no world. And you'll find out.
nice book fall
Mainly I've been back to my books and writings and being nice and quiet and lazy. As I'm writing this, the radio says there's a foot of snow falling on Long Island. I really love snow and wish I could take a long walk in it right now.
things-to-do best-things hard
It's hard to explain and best thing to do is not be false.
nice sleep vision
The only alternative to sleeping out, hopping freights, and doing what I wanted, I saw in a vision would be to just sit with a hundred other patients in front of a nice television set in a madhouse, where we could be "supervised."
suitcases life-is moments
For life is holy and every moment is precious.
delight rebellion
I suddenly discovered the delight of rebellion.
generations beats playboy
The beat generation (coined in Playboy)
ceilings wonder made
We lay on our backs looking at the ceiling and wondering what God had wrought when he made life so sad and disinclined.
kind life-is
Life is life, and kind is kind
rich-or-poor stories story-of-my-life

daughter nice home
And he had a nice home in Ohio with wife, daughter, Christmas tree, two cars, garage, lawn, lawnmower, but he couldn't enjoy any of it because he really wasn't free. It was sadly true.
pearls would-be lines
Somewhere along the line, the pearl would be handed to me.
love-each-other
We agreed to love each other madly.
expression worry soul
But they need to worry and betray time with urgencies false and otherwise, purely anxious and whiny, their souls really won't be at peace unless they can latch to an established and proven worry and having once found it they assume facial expressions to fit and go with it, which is, you see, unhappiness, and all the time it all flies by them and they know it and that too worries them no end.
