Sometimes Iβd get mad because things didnβt work out so well, Iβd spoil a flapjack, or slip in the snowfield while getting water, or one time my shovel went sailing down into the gorge, and Iβd be so mad Iβd want to bite the mountaintops and would come in the shack and kick the cupboard and hurt my toe. But let the mind beware, though the flesh be bugged, the circumstances of existence are pretty glorious. β¨ Jack Kerouac (2011). The Dharma Bums, p.254, Penguin UK
