"Somewhere along the line I knew there'd be girls, visions, everything;
somewhere along the line the pearl would be handed to me."
Jack Kerouac [1922-69] in "On The Road" [1957]

"The open road is a capitalist trick of deferral: Labor away with one eye on the scintillating future, and the present becomes bearable."
— Phoebe Chen, film reviwer in The Nation Magazine
