00:00The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad
00:05to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing,
00:11but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow Roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you
00:18see the blue center explode and go wow.
00:22Jack Kerouac
00:25It is a characteristic of the true and noble soul that it is not to be moved from its purpose
00:31by the opinions of the common herd.
00:34Jack Kerouac
00:38I want to write down the whole truth of my life.
00:42Jack Kerouac
00:46My life is a constant stream of experience.
00:50Jack Kerouac
00:54Don't flirt with her, don't try to get her into bed, you'll only be wasting your time.
01:00And don't try to make her your girlfriend, because she'll never be that.
01:05Just be her friend.
01:07And if you can do that, you'll have a friend for life.
01:11And that's more valuable than anything else.
01:15Jack Kerouac
01:19I realized that I had to be the only one in my family who would ever know what it was
01:24like to be a wanderer.
01:26Jack Kerouac
01:30So I started to write, and I wrote and I wrote, and I didn't stop until I had written the
01:35whole story.
01:38Jack Kerouac
01:41It's not what you have, it's what you do with what you have.
01:46Jack Kerouac
01:50It's a shame that you can't just live your life and enjoy it.
01:54Jack Kerouac
01:58Everything is a dream, and life is but a fleeting illusion.
02:03Jack Kerouac
02:07The only truth is the truth that you make for yourself.
02:11Jack Kerouac
02:15When you're young, you think you can do anything.
02:19When you're old, you wish you could.
02:22Jack Kerouac
02:26Life is a mystery, and you have to live it to the fullest.
02:31Jack Kerouac
02:34I'm not an American anymore, I'm a nomad.
02:38Jack Kerouac
02:42The beat goes on.
02:45Jack Kerouac
02:49There are no saints or sinners, only people.
02:53Jack Kerouac
02:57What matters is the experience, the journey, the adventure.
03:02Jack Kerouac
03:06I am a wanderer, a pilgrim, a seeker of the truth.
03:11Jack Kerouac
03:14The greatest thing you can do is be yourself.
03:18Jack Kerouac
03:22It's all happening.
03:25It's all good.
03:27Jack Kerouac
03:29Jack Kerouac
03:30The best thing you can do is buy from you.
