Jack Kerouac

"Write in recollection and amazement for yourself."

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

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

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

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

"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."
