Ken Kesey Quotes “You can't really be strong until you see a funny side to things.” -Ken Kesey “The trouble with super heroes is what to do between phone booths. -Ken Kesey “Man, when you lose your laugh you lose your footing.” -Ken Kesey “I'd rather be a lightning rod than a seismograph.” -Ken Kesey
"I'm for mystery, not interpretive answers. ... The answer is never the answer. What's really interesting is the mystery. If you seek the mystery instead of the answer, you'll always be seeking. I've never seen anybody really find the answer, but they think they have. So they stop thinking. But the job is to seek mystery, evoke mystery, plant a garden in which strange plants grow and mysteries bloom. The need for mystery is greater than the need for an answer." -Ken Kesey "When people ask me what I think is my best work, it's the bus. There're lots of books, but there's only one bus." -Ken Kesey "You can't bomb for a humane reason. What we should do is just Mother Teresa them to death with love. It's that old hippie nonsense but it's still the best stuff there is." -Ken Kesey Allen Ginsberg is a tremendous warrior as time goes by. He's a warrior first and a poet second. -Ken Kesey I used to think we were going to win in the '60s. Nixon went out and I thought we won. -Ken Kesey I've been to too many Dead concerts. There've been smokin' holes where my memory used to be. -Ken Kesey If you're a Conservative, why aren't you behind conserving the land? -Ken Kesey Listen, wait, and be patient. Every shaman knows you have to deal with the fire that's in your audience's eye. -Ken Kesey Loved. You can't use it in the past tense. Death does not stop that love at all. -Ken Kesey People think love is an emotion. Love is good sense. -Ken Kesey
The '60s aren't over; they won't be over until the Fat Lady gets high. -Ken Kesey The fundamentalists have taken the fun out of the mental. -Ken Kesey The Republican consciousness has no integrity and it falls apart once you check it out. If you're a Christian, why would you want to fry this dude? -Ken Kesey The Haight is just a place; the '60s was a spirit. -Ken KeseyThe truth doesn't have to do with cruelty, the truth has to do with mercy. -Ken Kesey When Shakespeare was writing, he wasn't writing for stuff to lie on the page; it was supposed to get up and move around. -Ken Kesey You don't lead by pointing and telling people some place to go. You lead by going to that place and making a case. -Ken Kesey You've got to get out and pray to the sky to appreciate the sunshine; otherwise you're just a lizard standing there with the sun shining on you. -Ken Kesey To hell with facts! We need stories! -Ken Kesey

“If Shakespeare were working right now, he wouldn't be working with a quill pen. He would be working with whatever the cutting edge of theatrical drama would be. And this is where literature is headed,”
-Ken Kesey
