„What are you trying to do, Kerouac? I’d ask myself in my sleepingbag at night, trying to deny reality with all this Buddha stuff, ya jerk?… Poor detailed immaculate incarnate fool, and you call yourself Self … Take off your coat and crash wits.“

— Jack Kerouac

„"What are you trying to do, Kerouac?" I'd ask myself in my sleepingbag at night, "trying to deny reality with all this Buddha stuff, ya jerk?" … "Poor detailed immaculate incarnate fool, and you call yourself Self … Take off your coat and crash wits." And I realized that all this Buddhism was a STRAIN at telling the untellable emptiness yet that nothing was truer, a perfect paradox.“
— Jack Kerouac
