The mad ones
Just a thought March 12th, 2007I really enjoy The Daily Grail. Their feed is the first I read every morning. They do a News Briefs of all things off-beat and slightly out there and some that aren’t so out there. At the end of each News Brief post, they have a daily quote. Today they chose one from Jack Kerouac. Love or hate him, the man did have some interesting things to say in his lifetime. And this one is a gem:
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
