Jack Kerouac
“What’s in store for me in the direction I don’t take?”
“No man should go through life without once experiencing healthy, even bored solitude in the wilderness, finding himself depending solely on himself and thereby learning his true and hidden strength.”
“Write in recollection and amazement for yourself”
“Our battered suitcases were piled on the sidewalk again; we had longer ways to go. But no matter, the road is life.”
“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!”

Great quotes, especially the second and the last one.
My dear Harman,
Keep scrounging like a rag-picker through the garbage that's Life and the lively words of men and women, living and dead, and may you come up with gems (like these) that are yours ... only and always yours.
Warm regards,
- Joe.
