The dharma bums by:Jack Kerouac

Quote #1
-I reminded myself of the line in the diamond sutra that says, "Practice charity without holding in mind any conceptions about charity, for charity after all is just a word."

This quote response demonstrates the kind of person he is. After eating his little meal, he remembers this and thinks about it. He says that he is very religious and has been practicing his religion to near perfection. I find this is a good quote but also one that makes me think. This quote is true and shows how this person lives.

Quote #2
-"why, as many grains of sand as there are stars in the sky!" and if so "how many human beings have there been,in fact how many living creatures have there been, since before the less part of beginningless time?"

This quote shows the personality of this person. He is sitting on a beach alone eating and drinking wine and all he is thinking about is how many grains of sand there are and how many stars there are. he then relates it to the number of human beings theres been in the world. he makes nothign into something and this quote made me think differently about this person.
