“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!”
~Jack Kerouac

That has always been one of my absolute all-time favorite quotes. Very true too.

I've never heard that quote. (Shameful, 'tis that!)
Somewhere the other day I was reading this post about a Mama needing Balance, and she was scheduling every fifteen minutes of the day, or something.
I wrote that a year or so ago I had finally had come to terms with the possibility that I don't even know what Balance means (and that I'm a Libra!), but that I've quite accepted that I'm a Mama who is quite comfortable eating up all of the world in one luscious gulp some days.
This quote is just what I was trying to convey. :)
Love Jack.

This is one of my favorite quotes. I have a card with the quote on it right next to my desk. :)
YES! Exactly...
I adore this quote. I keep this posted in my kitchen where I see it everyday. Just found your blog, btw...and really enjoying it. Thank you. =)
