thoughts of a nut allergic book lover


QUOTE: Jack Kerouac

“What is that feeling when you’re driving away from people and they recede on the plain till you see their specks dispersing?- it’s the too-huge world vaulting us, and it’s good-by. But we lean forward to the next crazy venture beneath the skies.” ~ On the Road by Jack Kerouac, page 156

I like this quote because it’s a familiar feeling, when you look back at a place as you leave it. Or it’s familiar to me, at least. Kerouac explains it in a way that makes sense, which is hard to do when you’re describing abstract feelings or emotions.

What are your favorite quotes? What are some that you have come across recently? Let me know in the comments section below!

Yours,

HOLLY
