Neal Cassady Quotes

Neal Cassady"I alone, as the sharer of their way of life, presented a replica of childhood." -Neal Cassady

"I became the unnatural son of a few score of beaten men." -Neal Cassady

"Going wrong this curve set up for that unless you got a flat or suspension change even but what I found out was I could throw anything into reverse under ten miles an hour aw gosh good old granny you can allways tell by the fear in your belly how limited y'ar." -Neal Cassady

"The secret of the fuse is to think of the soul and not the ego. It took the Chinese years to discover swallowing tadpoles by the dozens doesn't make for effective contraceptives." -Neal Cassady

First Third

"This Eyetalian --or was it E? --opened a pack of Camels upsidedown, impressed even me." -Neal Cassady

"I swore, for all those Saddiday nights I missed when I was in San Quentin I'd stay up every Saturday night for two full years to make up." -Neal Cassady


Note: If you want to know what Jack Kerouac and Neal Cassady were like, Carolyn Cassady's "Off the Road" is the book you should read. Certainly, Neal was a unique person and marched to the beat of a different drum, but he was never the outlaw character portrayed in many books. I long suspected that, and "Off the Road" confirmed those suspicions. That so much has been written about Neal Cassady is an indication that he made a deep impression on the writers. No one will ever write a single book about most of us.

Clearly, Neal Cassady was an intelligent person. That the talented and highly educated gathered around him and admired him in spite of his lack of formal education is evidence of this. That he married the highly intelligent and beautiful Caroline who to this day expresses her love and respect for him confirms it. Above all, Neal was a human being, and by all credible accounts, a gentle and caring one. He deserves our respect. -Kerouac Alley
