Quote by Jack Kerouac (1922-1969)

• The fact was I had the vision... I think everyone has... what we lack is the method.

• Genius gives birth, talent delivers. What Rembrandt or Van Gogh saw in the night can never be seen again. Born writers of the future are amazed already at what they're seeing now, what we'll all see in time for the first time, and then see imitated many times by made writers.

• Geniuses can be scintillating and geniuses can be somber, but it's that inescapable sorrowful depth that shines through — originality.

• Be in love with your life. Every detail of it.

• The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved...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.

• It ain't whatcha write, it's the way atcha write it.
