A pain stabbed my heart as it did every time I saw a girl I loved who was going the opposite direction in this too-big world.
Jack KerouacI wasn't scared; I was just somebody else, some stranger, and my whole life was a haunted life, the life of a ghost.
Jack KerouacNight is longer than day for those who dream & day is longer than night for those who make their dreams comes true.
Jack KerouacNever dreaming, was I, poor Jack Duluoz, that the soul is dead. That from Heaven grace descends . . . No Doctor Pisspot Poorpail to tell me; no example inside my first and only skin. That love is the heritage, and cousin to death. That the only love can only be the first love, the only death the last, the only life within, and the only word . . . choked forever.
Jack Kerouac
