Jack Kerouac
“My eyes were glued on life
and they were full of tears.”
Jack Kerouac, Atop an Underwood: Early Stories and Other Writings

David Foster Wallace
“...logical validity is not a guarantee of truth.”
David Foster Wallace, Infinite Jest

Jack Kerouac
“...but I preferred reading the American landscape as we went along. Every bump, rise, and stretch in it mystified my longing.”
Jack Kerouac, On the Road

Hunter S. Thompson
“Happy," I muttered, trying to pin the word down. But it is one of those words, like Love, that I have never quite understood. Most people who deal in words don’t have much faith in them and I am no exception – especially the big ones like Happy and Love and Honest and Strong. They are too elusive and far to relative when you compare them to sharp, mean little words like Punk and Cheap and Phony. I feel at home with these, because they’re scrawny and easy to pin, but the big ones are tough and it takes either a priest or a fool to use them with any confidence.”
Hunter S. Thompson, The Rum Diary

Jack Kerouac
“Ah Japhy you taught me the final lesson of them all, you can't fall off a mountain.”
Jack Kerouac, The Dharma Bums
