Truth Quote by Jack Kerouac — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“After all, a homeless man has reason to cry, everything in the world is pointed against him.”

So I guess you might say we’re a beat generation.”

“A bitter reality of truth”

“Trust me Dani. You don’t want’a miss this. I’m not exaggeratin’ when I say the journey of a lifetime, of a hundred lifetimes, is just below us!”

“Why do we weep once we know that everything will be alright? We weep because the only way everything could ever be alright is in fiction. We weep because what we've seen can't be true, no matter how badly we wish it were. We weep at the truth.”
