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 center­light pop and every­body goes ‘Awww!’ ”

On The Road by Jack Kerouac

Happy birth­day, nihilla!
