Isn’t it true that you start your life a sweet child believing in everything under your father’s roof? Then comes the day of the Laodiceans, when you know you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked, and with the visage of a gruesome grieving ghost you go shuddering through nightmare life. I stumbled haggardly out of the station; I had no more control. —  Jack Kerouac - On the Road (via theselittlewhitelies)

I want to marry a girl, so I can rest my soul with her till we both get old. This can’t go on all the time-all this franticness and jumping around. We’ve got to go someplace, find something. —  Sal Paradise, On the Road  (via light-me-up)

I realized these were all the snapshots which our children would look at someday with wonder, thinking their parents had lived smooth, well-ordered, stabilized-within-the-photo lives and got up in the morning to walk proudly on the sidewalks of life, never dreaming the raggedy madness and riot of our actual lives, our actual night, the hell of it, the senseless nightmare road. All of it inside endless and beginningless emptiness. —  Jack Kerouac, On the Road (via mr-november)
