While looking for the light, you may suddenly be devoured by the darkness and find the true light
Jack KerouacNo matter how you travel, how 'successful' your tour, or foreshortened, you always learn something and learn to change your thoughts.
Jack KerouacI woke up as the sun was reddening; and that was the one distinct time in my life, the strangest moment of all, when I didn't know who I was - I was far away from home, haunted and tired with travel, in a cheap hotel room I'd never seen, hearing the hiss of steam outside, and the creak of the old wood of the hotel, and footsteps upstairs, and all the sad sounds, and I looked at the cracked high ceiling and really didn't know who I was for about fifteen strange seconds. I wasn't scared; I was just somebody else, some stranger, and my whole life was a haunted life, the life of a ghost.
