Jack Kerouac Drunk Quotations

I mean, why on earth (outside sickness and hangovers) aren't people continually drunk? I want ecstasy of the mind all the time.

Why did I allow myself to be bored ever in the past and to compensate for it got high or drunk or rages or all the tricks people have because they want anything but serene understanding of just what there is, which is after all so much.

Don't drink to get drunk. Drink to enjoy life.

As I grew older I became a drunk. Why? Because I like ecstasy of the mind.

As far as I'm concerned the only thing to do is sit in a room and get drunk
