Strive To Be

I just started the book "On the Road" by Jack Kerouac and I'm really impressed so far.  Here's a quote that has been used plenty of times, but for whatever reason is resonating with me right now at this juncture in my life.

"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!"
