I used to have a magnet on my fridge door (wonder where it ended up?) that had this quote by Jack Kerouac wrote: “… 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!’ “
