“Be a dumbsaint! A Yeatsian visionary. Take control and let loose. Discard pretense. Make speakable the unspeakable. Throw away the misthought that you have nothing to say. Defy fear. Like Proust unlock time and sense. Find your Madeleine. Or like Alice, eat the mushroom. If you tell a true story, you cannot be wrong. Lose inhibition, grammatical, syntactical, and all other straightjackets. Make love to your life. Experience it, the radiant orgasmic highest high/ lowest low of consciousness.”

-Jack Kerouac, You’re a Genius All the Time
