Famous quotes by Jack Kerouac:

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

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

"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."

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

"My witness is the empty sky."

"I had nothing to offer anybody except my own confusion"

"What is the feeling when you're driving away from people, and they recede on the plain till you see their specks dispersing? -it's the too huge world vaulting us, and it's good-bye. But we lean forward to the next crazy venture beneath the skies.”"

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

"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."

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but 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!"

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

"It is not my fault that certain so-called bohemian elements have found in my writings something to hang their peculiar beatnik theories on."

"All our best men are laughed at in this nightmare land."

"Whither goest thou, America, in thy shiny car in the night?"

"Offer them what they secretly want and they of course immediately become panic-stricken."

"I had nothing to offer anybody except my own confusion."

"Write in recollection and amazement for yourself."

"You can't teach the old maestro a new tune."

"Our battered suitcases were piled on the sidewalk again; we had longer ways to go. But no matter, the road is life."

"If moderation is a fault, then indifference is a crime."
