But yet, but yet, woe, woe unto those who think that the Beat Generation means crime, delinquency, immorality, amorality ... woe unto those who attack it on the grounds that they simply don't understand history and the yearning of human souls ... woe in fact unto those who make evil movies about the Beat Generation where innocent housewives are raped by beatniks! ... woe unto those who spit on the Beat Generation, the wind'll blow it back.

After all, a homeless man has reason to cry, everything in the world is pointed against him.

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

There's wisdom in wine.

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

Rest and be kind, you don't have to prove anything

Practice kindness all day to everybody and you will realize you're already in heaven now.
