On the road, there is no excuse for you to choose to escape from reality.

1 For the male protagonist: If you don't have one of your own skills as a body technique, then when you and your friends return to the right track from a decadent and depraved life, it may be the difference between a tramp and an elite.

2 For Dean: Continually squandering youth in decadence, depravity, and confusion, to obtain instant gratification, it seems very free and unrestrained, but, sooner or later, fate will reward you accordingly. Many people always say that they are confused, but in fact they are just unwilling to settle down and take responsibility. I would rather travel through mountains and rivers and suffer from hunger and cold for five consecutive days and five nights to come to the big city to find my former friends. I want to steal another moment of happiness and escape from reality again, but I don’t want to choose to bow my head and go home with my duty. Do a job, support your family, and take responsibility for yourself. I really don't feel sorry for such a person. Don't use what is still confused and young as an excuse to escape from reality and responsibility. In fact, it is just unwilling to face reality and laziness.

3 For Dean's ex-girlfriend: When he was only 18 years old, he chose to spend all day with a bastard because of confusion and youth. Escape, lust, madness... are all just a temporary measure, just to temporarily forget the so-called responsibility and the fear of the uncertain future. However, youth is short-lived, joy is also short-lived, and responsibility and innocence are the main colors of life.

4 For Dean's wife: Women are not independent enough, they are not allowed to know people, and it is obvious that he is a man who has never been stable in his heart, longs for madness, longs for eroticism, and even has no sense of responsibility and love, even so , I handed over myself casually, and chose such a man as my partner for the rest of my life. Then, since you had the courage to make such a choice in the first place, don't cry when you regret being wronged in the future, don't regret it.

On the Road quotes

  • Dean Moriarty: Hey Sal... I love you as ever.

  • Sal Paradise: The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.
