Quotes

I'm supposed to chose some quotes that reflect me or my ideals. These quotes I think exemplify them, at least a little bit.

"...the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, delirious of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars..." - Jack Kerouac, On The Road


"I'm just a big liar.” -David Sedaris


The two quotes represent the way I feel about two different topics. When I first read the first quote I kind of read it to be the people I want to meet. The ones who are crazy enough to live, and talk and not say a common, boring thing. But I've found that I really just want to be those things. Hoping that I meet that kind of person was only so that I could someday be that way. But doesn't that just defeat the purpose of the quote? It's not to roboticly program yourself that way. I think that's how you truly became great. However you define great. The second one I think just represents the way I see myself. I don't tell people everything. I put up walls. Sometimes I think that is the same as lieing.
