More From Jack Kerouac

There is such a thing as everyday, ordinary, vulgar ecstasy; the ecstasy of anger, the ecstasy of speed at the wheel, the ecstasy of ear-splitting noise, ecstasy in the soccer stadium.

Playing a drunk doesn't mean being a drunk, only bad actors try to be drunk. a real drunk tries to be sober, he wants another drink. how a character hides their feelings tells us who they are, no one shows their feelings except bad actors.
Real Character Mean
If god causes man to be sick, sickness must be good, and its opposite, health, must be evil, for all that he makes is good and will stand forever. if the transgression of god's law produces sickness, it is right to be sick; and we cannot if we would, and should not if we could, annul the decrees of wisdom. it is the transgression of a belief of mortal mind, not of a law of matter nor of divine mind, which causes the belief of sickness. the remedy is truth, not matter,--the truth that disease is unreal.

I had to be naked [in vinyl], but i was almost more nervous about having to be drunk. the director wasn't going to yell, "too big!," during the nude scene. for the drunk scene, you can be bad drunk or good drunk. we'll see. my wife was not happy, hearing about it.

There is an ecstasy that marks the summit of life, and beyond which life cannot rise. and such is the paradox of living, this ecstasy comes when one is most alive, and it comes as a complete forgetfulness that one is alive. this ecstasy, this forgetfulness of living, comes to the artist, caught up and out of himself in a sheet of flame; it comes to the soldier, war-mad in a stricken field and refusing quarter; and it came to buck, leading the pack, sounding the old wolf-cry, straining after the food that was alive and that fled swiftly before him through the moonlight.

The old saying that war is a racket has taken on an even more shameful meaning.
War Taken Racket
Never has so much military and economic and diplomatic power been used so ineffectively, and if after all of this time, and all of this sacrifice, and all of this support, there is still no end in sight, then i say the time has come for the american people to turn to new leadership not tied to the mistakes and policies of the past.
