"The only people for me are the mad ones,
the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved,
desirous 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
and in the middle you see the blue centrelight pop
and everybody goes 'Awww!' "

and in the middle you see the blue centrelight pop
and everybody goes 'Awww!' "
From "On The Road", an autobiographical novel by Jack Kerouac.
