Here’s to the crazy ones.
The misfits. The rebels.
The troublemakers. The round
pegs in the square holes - the
ones who see things differently.
They’re not fond of rules and
they have no respect for
the status quo. You can praise
them, disagree with them,
quote them, disbelieve them,
glorify or vilify them.
About the only thing that you
can’t do is ignore them.
Because they change things.

And he drank himself to death at, what was it, age 42 or maybe 44? Just the thought of him bleeding to death while he was drinking his whiskey breakfast makes it hard for me to read him. I sure enjoyed "On the Road" though.
