“...because to me the only thing that matters is the conceptions in my own mind, there has to be no reality anyway to what I suppose is going on (p. 153)”
― Jack Kerouac, Big Sur

“Writers remember everything...especially the hurts. Strip a writer to the buff, point to the scars, and he'll tell you the story of each small one. From the big ones you get novels. A little talent is a nice thing to have if you want to be a writer, but the only real requirement is the ability to remember the story of every scar.
Art consists of the persistence of memory.”
― Stephen King, Misery

“...both of us had a lot to say, but there was no room to say it in, we were so tense and close.”
― Jack Kerouac, And the Hippos Were Boiled in Their Tanks

“Look at that party the other night. Everybody wanted to have a good time and tried real hard but we all woke up the next day feeling sorta sad and separate.”
― Jack Kerouac, The Dharma Bums
