This may be too much for some, but I read this in his "Book of Sketches." It was what Jack did best for me, take a simple situation and explain it simply for exactly what it was - and I just get it. Do you get it too? Ha! It's not just in a man's life, it happens in a woman's life too.
"The trouble with fashions is you want to f*ck the women in their fashions but when the time comes they always take them off so they don't get wrinkled.
Face it, the really great f*cks in a man's life was when there was no time to take yr clothes off, you were too hot and she was too hot - none of yr Bohemian leisure, this was middleclass explosions against snowbanks, against walls of shithouses in attics, on sudden couches in the lobby -
Talk about yr hot peace."
— Jack Kerouac (Book of Sketches)
