― Jack Kerouac, The Dharma Bums:

“I wanted to know what 'IT' meant. 'Ah well' - Dean laughed - 'now you're asking me impon-de-rables - ahem!”
― Jack Kerouac, On the Road

“I still couldn't accept that Trevor was a loser and a moron. I didn't want to believe that I could have degraded myself for someone who didn't deserve it. I was still stuck on that bit of vanity. But I was determined to sleep it away.”

“I wanted to go and get Rita again and tell her a lot more things, and really make love to her this time, and calm her fears about men.

― Jack Kerouac, On the Road
