A Yellow Roman Candle

“The truth is, we know so little about life, we don't really know what the good news is and what the bad news is.” – Kurt Vonnegut in A Man Without a Country
“Here is a lesson in creative writing. First rule: Do not use semicolons. They are transvestite hermaphrodites representing absolutely nothing. All they do is show you've been to college.” – Kurt Vonnegut in A Man Without a Country
“I tell you, we are here on Earth to fart around, and don't let anybody tell you different.” – Kurt Vonnegut in A Man Without a Country
"I was halfway across America, at the dividing line between the East of my youth and the West of my future..." -Jack Kerouac
"...I like too many things and get all confused and hung-up running from one falling star to another till I drop. This is the night, what it does to you. I had nothing to offer anybody except my own confusion." -Sal Paradise in On the Road
"Now dammit, look here, all of you, we all must admit that everything is fine and there's no need in the world to worry, and in fact we should realize what it would mean to us to UNDERSTAND that we're not REALLY worried about ANYTHING. Am I right?" -Dean Moriarty in On the Road
"Have you heard that it was good to gain the day? I also say it is good to fall, battles are lost in the same spirit in which they are won." -Walt Whitman
"It struck me that he was joyous in a ferocious sort of way, that he was glad there was an impending struggle, that he was thrilled and upborne with knowledge that one of the great moments of living, when the tide of life surges up in flood, was upon him." -Jack London in Sea Wolf
"What is that feeling when you're driving away from people and they recede on the plain till you see their specks dispersing? - it's the too-huge world vaulting us, and it's good-by. But we lean forward to the next crazy venture beneath the skies." -Jack Kerouac in On the Road
