    Ken Kesey
    “Nakar se je naenkrat pojavil pred teboj še nekdo, ki je prav tako zataval v megli, in še nikoli prej v življenju nisi videl človeškega obraza, ki bi bil tako velik in razločen. Tako zelo si napenjal oči v meglo, da bi kaj videl, da je bila zdaj, ko je bilo kaj videti, vsaka podrobnost desetkrat bolj razločna kot sicer, tako razločna, da sta bila obadva prisiljena pogledati vstran. Kratko malo nisi mogel pogledati človeku v obraz, on pa ne v tvojega, ko pa je tako boleče videti nekoga v vseh podrobnostih - kot da bi mu gledal notranjščino. Ampak tudi proč nisi hotel pogledati, da ga ne bi čisto zgubil. In tako naprej: ali si se napenjal in strmel v meglo in zagledal stvari, ki so bile boleče, ali pa si se razpustil in zgubil v megli.”
    Ken Kesey, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest

    Ken Kesey
    “Like a cartoon world, where the figures are flat and outlined in black, jerking through some kind of goofy story that might be real funny if it weren't for the cartoon figures being real guys... ”

    Ken Kesey
    “The Big Nurse is able to set the wall clock at whatever speed she wants by just turning one of those dials in the steel door; she takes a notion to hurry things up, she turns the speed up, and those hands whip around that disk like spokes in a wheel. The scene in the picture-screen windows goes through rapid changes of light to show morning, noon, and night - throb off and on furiously with day and dark, and everybody is driven like mad to keep up with that passing of fake time; awful scramble of shaves and breakfasts and appointments and lunches and medications and ten minutes of night so you barely get your eyes closed before the dorm light's screaming at you to get up and start the scramble again, go like a sonofabitch this way, going through the full schedule of a day maybe twenty times an hour, till the Big Nurse sees everybody is right up to the breaking point, and she slacks off on the throttle, eases off the pace on that clock-dial, like some kid been fooling with the moving-picture projection machine and finally got tired watching the film run at ten times its natural speed, got bored with all that silly scampering and insect squeak of talk and turned it back to normal.”
    Ken Kesey, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest

    Jack Kerouac

    Oscar Wilde
    “Actual life was chaos, but there was something terribly logical in the imagination. It was the imagination that set remorse to dog the feet of sin. It was the imagination that made each crime bear its misshapen brood. In the common world of fact the wicked were not punished, nor the good rewarded. Success was given to the strong, failure thrust upon the weak. That was all.”
    Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

    Oscar Wilde
    “There were opium-dens, where one could buy oblivion, dens of horror where the memory of old sins could be destroyed by the madness of sins that were new.”

    Jack Kerouac
    “[...]the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, 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 and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes “Awww!”
    Jack Kerouac, On the Road

    Jean-Paul Sartre
    “I am alone in the midst of these happy, reasonable voices. All these creatures spend their time explaining, realizing happily that they agree with each other. In Heaven's name, why is it so important to think the same things all together. ”

    Ken Kesey
    “Because he knows you have to laugh at the things that hurt you just to keep yourself in balance, just to keep the world from running you plumb crazy. He knows there's a painful side; he knows my thumb smarts and his girlfriend has a bruised breast and the doctor is losing his glasses, but he won't let the pain blot out the humor no more'n he'll let the humor blot out the pain.”
    Ken Kesey

    Salvador Dalí
    “Nietzscheja sem prežvečil in prebavil v treh dneh. Po tem velikem zalogaju mi je ostala samo še ena podrobnost osebnosti tega filozofa, še zadnji oreh, ki ga je bilo treba streti: njegovi brki! Federico Garcia Lorca, ki je bil očaran nad Hitlerjevimi brki, je pozneje izjavil, da "so brki tragična konstanta moškega obraza". Celo z brki sem nameraval preseči Nietzscheja! Moji že ne bodo zamorjeni, katastrofični, obteženi z wagnerjansko glasbo in meglo. Ne! Moji bodo zašiljeni, imperialistični, ultraracianalistični in usmerjeni k nebu, kot vertikalni misticizem, kot španski vertikalni sindikati.”
    Salvador Dalí, Diary of a Genius

    Salvador Dalí
    “Gala Gradiva - 'tista, ki hodi spredaj, 'brezmadežna intuicija' - je imela spet prav. Danes lahko rećem, da izmed vseh mojih prepričanj le dveh ne zmorem razložiti s svojo voljo do moči: eno je znova najdena vera leta 1949, drugo pa, da bo imela Gala glede moje prihodnosti vedno prav.”
    Salvador Dalí, Diary of a Genius

    fight.

    Still
    is.”
