“There was nowhere to go but everywhere, so just keep on rolling under the stars.”
― Jack Kerouac, On the Road
Jack Kerouac’s On the Road captures the burning need to be going somewhere. Anywhere. Just to be on the road. In motion. In the moment.
Also in On the Road, Kerouac sums up the thrill of travel and the adventures that lie in wait mixed with a tinge of guilt when he makes this confession:
“I was surprised, as always, be how easy the act of leaving was, and how good it felt. The world was suddenly rich with possibility.”
― Jack Kerouac, On the Road
