The words are clear as in the reflection of the world on the water. therefore write the word at once, everywhere, from now till your hand is paralyzed, for there will be your work for god, since you can not work for god in other ways, and would not, & don't know how, or bend that way, from habit, & from talent in the use & signification & arrangement of the word.

The Words Are Clear As In The

Jack Kerouac

The words are clear as in the reflection of the world on the water. therefore write the word at once, everywhere, from now till your hand is paralyzed, for there will be your work for god, since you can not work for god in other ways, and would not, & don't know how, or bend that way, from habit, & from talent in the use & signification & arrangement of the word.

Writing Reflection Hands

More From Jack Kerouac

If the lost word is lost, if the spent word is spent if the unheard, unspoken word is unspoken, unheard; still is the spoken word, the word unheard, the word without a word, the word within the world and for the world; and the light shone in the darkness and against the word the unstilled world still whirled about the center of the silent word. oh my people, what have i done unto thee. where shall the word be found, where shall the word resound? not here, there is not enough silence

Imagine a limitless expanse of water: above and below, before and behind, right and left, everywhere there is water. in that water is placed a jar filled with water. there is water inside the jar and water outside, but the jar is still there. the 'i' is the jar.

The individual (no matter how well-meaning he might be, no matter how much strength he might have, if only he would use it) does not have the passion to rip himself away from either the coils of reflection or the seductive ambiguities of reflection; nor do the surroundings and times have any events or passions, but rather provide a negative setting of a habit of reflection, which plays with some illusory project only to betray him in the end with a way out: it shows him that the most clever thing to do is nothing at all.

In the end it all comes down to talent. you can talk all you want about intangibles, i just don't know what that means. talent makes winners, not intangibles. can nice guys win? sure, nice guys can win - if they're nice guys with a lot of talent. nice guys with a little talent finish fourth, and nice guys with no talent finish last.

If you have talent, i believe that talent will win out. in other words, if you're a good broadcaster, if you're a funny comic, you'll be heard. if you know how to do a broadcast, if you're a good newsman, if you can see an event and describe it, you're going to be heard and you're going to be seen. so there's always room. now with cable and satellite and internet, it's endless. you could blog, you could be your own talent.

Oh, my ways are strange ways and new ways and old ways, and deep ways and steep ways and high ways and low, i'm at home and at ease on a track that i know not, and restless and lost on a road that i know.

Similar Quotes

There is no man ... however wise, who has not at some period of his youth said things, or lived a life, the memory of which is so unpleasant to him that he would gladly expunge it. and yet he ought not entirely to regret it, because he cannot be certain that he has indeed become a wise man -- so far as it is possible for any of us to be wise -- unless he has passed through all the fatuous or unwholesome incarnations by which that ultimate stage must be preceded.

Merely to resist evil with evil by hating those who hate us and seeking to destroy them, is actually no resistance at all. it is active and purposeful collaboration in evil that brings the christian into direct and intimate contact with the same source of evil and hatred which inspires the acts of his enemy. it leads in practice to a denial of christ and to the service of hatred rather than love.

The thing that we need in the world today, is a group of men and women who will stand up for right and be opposed to wrong, wherever it is. a group of people who have come to see that some things are wrong, whether they’re never caught up with. some things are right, whether nobody sees you doing them or not.
