Diane  | 2044 comments “Everybody, everybody everywhere, has his own movie going, his own scenario, and everybody is acting his movie out like mad, only most people don’t know that is what they’re trapped by, their little script.”

“You're either on the bus or off the bus.”

There was another quote I found quite profound, but am unable to locate it again.

"the perfect anti-cure for what ailed the men on this ward" (quote about state hospital.

I don't have a lot of quotes but here I things I appreciated
I liked the list of who's who in the book.
I liked learning about LSD and that it wasn't illegal until 1966.
I liked the references to One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and to Sometimes a Great Notion.
I found it interesting that Kesey liked the Captain Marvel, superhero characters.
I liked the reference to Childhood's End

What I did not like
I didn't like the wasted lives
I didn't like the sordidness
I didn't like the Day Glo madness
Driving under the influence
Using drugs while pregnant
