Additional quotes by Ken Kesey

I'd think, That ain't me, that ain't my face. It wasn't even me when I was trying to be that face. I wasn't even really me then; I was just being the way I looked, the way people wanted. It don't seem like I ever have been me.

"...you have to laugh at the things that hurt you just to keep in balance." [Chief Bromden]

He knows that you have to laugh at the things that hurt you just to keep yourself in balance, just to keep the world from running you plumb crazy.

One flew east, one flew west, one flew over the cuckoo's nest. - Ken Kesey
