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,

the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and
everybody goes "Awww!
-Jack Kerouac
