Some random stuff I read and probably changed my life:

...I always run after people, people who interest me, because the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirious of everything of the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing but burn, burn, burn...

- Jack Kerouac: On The Road

... She went into some kind of gift shop and there was a man in a wheel chair there. (She wandered into a doorway with cages and green canaries in the glass, she wanted to touch the beads, watch goldfish, caress the old fat cat sunning on the floor, stand in the cool green parakeet jungle of the store high on the green out-of-this-world dart eyes of parrots swivelling witless necks to cake and burrow in the mad birdy terror, the electric spasms of their notice,
s q u a w k, l a w k, l e e k, and the man was extremely strange.) - „Why?“ - „I dunno he was just very strange, he wanted, he talked with me very clearly and insisting -like intensely looking right at me and at great length but smiling about the simplest commonplace subjects but we both knew we meant everything else that we said -you know life- actually it was about the tunnels, the Stockton Street tunnel and the one they just built on Broadway, that's the one we talked of the most, but as we talked this a great electrical current of real understanding passed between us and I could feel the other levels the infinite number of them of every intonation in his speech and mine and the world of meaning in every word - I'd never realized before how much is happening all the time and people know it -in their eyes show it, they refuse to show it by any other – I stayed a very long time.“ - ...

- Jack Kerouac (The Subterraneans)
