“...and I shambled after as usual as I’ve been doing all my life after people that interest me, because the only people that interest me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones that never yearn or say a commonplace thing ... but burn, burn, burn like Roman candles across the night.”
― Ann Charters, On the Road
