“I believe there will be a Judgement Day, but not for men . . . for society. Society is a mistake. Tell Van Doren I don’t believe at all in this society. It is evil. It will fall. Men have to do what they want. It has all got out of hand - began when fools left the covered wagons in 1848 and rode madly to California for Gold, leaving their families behind. And of course, there ain’t enough gold for all, even if gold were the thing. . . . I want to be left alone. I want to sit in the grass. I want to ride my horse. I want to lay a woman naked in the grass on the mountainside. I want to think. I want to pray. I want to sleep. I want to look at the stars. I want what I want. I want to get and prepare my own food, with my own hands, and live that way. I want to roll my own. I want to smoke some deermeat and pack it in my saddlebag, and go away over the bluff. I want to read books. I want to write books. I’ll write books in the woods. Thoreau was right; Jesus was right. It’s all wrong and I denounce it and it can all go to hell. I don’t believe in this society; but I believe in man, like Mann. So roll your own bones I say. I don’t even believe in education any more . . . even high school. ‘Culture’ (anthropologically) is the rigmarole surrounding what poor men have to do to eat, anywhere. History is people doing what their leaders tell them; and not doing what their prophets tell them. Life is that which gives you desires, but no rights for the fulfilment of desires. It is all pretty mean - but you can still do what you want, and what you want is right, when you want honestly. Wanting money is wanting the dishonesty of wanting a servant. Money hates us, like a servant; because it is false. Henry Miller was right; Burroughs was right. Roll your own, I say."
- Jack Kerouac, Selected Letters,v.I, pp. 193-4”
“ All that is cosmic bears the hallmark of periodicity; it has “beat” (rhythm, tact)
Oswald Spengler, Decline of the West
“The beat of cosmic cycles…from time to time breaks down the tension of the waking individual’s being into the one grand felt harmony”
O.S.
“In precisely this resides the ineffable charm and the very real power of emancipation that music possesses for man. For music is the only art whose means lie outside the light-world that has so long become coextensive with our total world, and music alone, therefore, can take us right out of this world, break up the steely tyranny of light, and let us fondly imagine that we are on the verge of reaching the soul’s final secret”
O.S.
“Shuddering awe is mankind’s noblest part”. He to whom that gift has been denied by fate must seek to discover secrets, to attack, dissect, and destroy the awe inspiring, and to extract a booty of knowledge therefrom. The will-to-system is a will to kill something living, to “establish”, stabilise, stiffen it, to bind it in the train of logic. The intellect has conquered when it has completed the business of making rigid” O.S.”
"He hints that nihilism can become a false belief, when it leads individuals to discard any hope of meaning in the world and thus to invent some compensatory alternate measure of significance."
"postmodernism's critics argue that postmodernism is a creation of substitute and not actual meaning in that it does not measure life but moral and emotional compensations"
