I found the following quote on the wonderful blog Spoken Word Paris . As soon as I started reading the quote I knew I would like it. I like every and any poem that tries to conjure an intensity of life or a thirst to live a certain way, and this is one such poem. Tis Excellent.
''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 likefabulous Roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.'' -- Jack Kerouac
It speaks of a type of personality who never gets bored with life and attempts to live beyond an everyday routine. In living in such a way this personality becomes so different from the rest that merely being herself, this personality lights-up in comparison to others...this personality burns, burns, burns.
