The Quote Book: I love Jack.

I have posted about one of my dearest possessions, my quote book, before. So I thought I would share a few other quotes from its pages. One of my favorites (if not my favorite) authors is Jack Kerouac, although Jack was no saint, I find his writings- so full of beauty and nostalgia- deeply touching. So it is no surprise that my quote book is filled with plenty of Kerouac quotes.

Jack always reminds me of travel, of road trips, and of the endless quest for meaning... So for a little Monday inspiration here are some of my favorite quotes by the leader of the beats.



(Siena, sun going down)


(70s roller skating party with best friends)


(the road, North Carolina)


 (fireworks, Barcelona)

Have a lovely Monday, and remember to burn like a beautiful roman candle.

xoxo,
Pilar

    That first photo is so beautiful.
    I love Jack. He was the first author who inspired me to write. He inspired me to do a lot of things.

    Pilar, these quotes are fantastic. I have to admit, I've never really read any of Jack's books. Maybe it's time I pick some up. I can see how easily he can inspire.
