All my other current friends were "intellectuals"––Chad the Nietzschean anthropologist, Carlo Marx and his nutty surrealist low-voiced serious staring talk, Old Bull Lee and his critical anti-everything drawl––or else they were slinking criminals like Elmer Hassel, with that hip sneer; Jane Lee the same, sprawled on the Oriental cover of her couch, sniffing at the New Yorker. But Dean's intelligence was every bit as formal and shining and complete, without the tedious intellectualness. And his "criminality" was not something that sulked and sneered; it was a wild yea-saying overburst of American joy; it was Western, the west wind, an ode from the Plains, something new, long prophesied, long a-coming. Besides, all my New York friends were in the negative, nightmare position of putting down society and giving their tired bookish or political or psychoanalytical reasons, but Dean just raced in society, eager for bread and love; he didn't care one way or the other.

I had traveled eight thousand miles around the American continent and I was back on Times Square; and right in the middle of a rush hour, too, seeing with my innocent road-eyes the absolute madness and fantastic hoorair of New York with its millions and millions hustling forever for a buck among themselves, the mad dream––grabbing, taking, giving, sighing, dying, just so they could be buried in those awful cemetery cities beyond Long Island City.

Jack KerouacEsos hijo putas han inventado unos plásticos con los que podrían hacer casas que duraran para siempre. Y neumáticos. Los americanos mueren anualmente por millares debido a neumáticos defectuosos que se calientan en la carretera y revientan. Podrían fabricar neumáticos que nunca reventaran. Y lo mismo pasas con la pasta de dientes. Hay un chicle que han ivnentado y no quieren que se sepa porque si lo masticas de niño no tendrás caries en toda tu vida. Y lo mismo la ropa. Pueden fabricar ropa que dure para siempre. Prefieren hacer productos baratos ay así todo el mundo tiene que seguir trabajando y fichando y organizándose en siniestros sindicatos y andar dando tumbos mientras las grandes tajadas se las llevan en Washington y Moscú.

And it's finally only in the woods you get that nostalgia for "cities" at last, you dream of long gray journeys to cities where soft evenings'll unfold like Paris but never seeing how sickening it will be because of the primordial innocence of health and stillnes in the wilds- So I tell myself "Be Wise.
Jack KerouacI like too many things and get all confused and hung-up running from one falling star to another till I drop. This is the night, what it does to you. I had nothing to offer anybody except my own confusion

Jack KerouacI clearly saw the skeleton underneath
all this show of personality
what is left of a man
and all his pride but bones?
