You know, the guys there were so beautiful - they've lost that wounded look that fags all had 10 years ago. ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
Let go of the spirit of the departed, and continue the celebration of your own life. ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
Through the blur, I wondered if I was alone or if other parents felt the same way I did - that everything involving our children was painful in some way. The emotions, whether they were joy, sorrow, love or pride, were so deep and sharp that in the end they left you raw, exposed and yes, in pain. The human heart was not designed to beat outside the human body and yet, each child represented just that - a parent's heart bared, beating forever outside its chest. ~ Debra Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Debra Ginsberg
I do not wish to escape to myself, I wish to escape from myself. I wish to obliterate my consciousness and my knowledge of independent existence, my guilts, my secretiveness. ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
Poor dead flower? when did you forget you were a flower? ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
Steak swallowers zonked on Television! ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
[Allen] Ginsberg totally helped that out. He was the best sales person. He was the most pop. They are still shocking and relevant, especially [William] Burroughs. ~ Yony Leyser
Ginsberg quotes by Yony Leyser
Like the medieval heretics that Norm Cohn wrote about in The Pursuit of the Millennium, the Beats cultivated an extreme narcissism that bordered on self-deification and that 'liberated them from all restraints' and allowed them to experience every impulse as a 'divine command'. What Norman Podhoretz observed of Ginsberg was also true of the Beats generally: they 'conjured up a world of complete freedom from the limits imposed by [bourgeois] responsibilities'. Podhoretz added, 'It was a world that promised endless erotic possibility together with the excitements of an expanded consciousness constantly open to new dimensions of being: more adventure, more sex, more intensity, more life'. Alas, the promise was illusory. Instead of an 'expanded consciousness', the Beats purchased madness, ruination, and, for many, an early death. Their attack on bourgeois responsibility led not to greater freedom but to greater chaos. The erotic paradise they envisioned turned out to be rife with misery. ~ Roger Kimball
Ginsberg quotes by Roger Kimball
Now the Great Fear's rolled round the world and washes over Newspaper Grey air ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
Poetry is the one place where people can speak their original human mind. It is the outlet for people to say in public what is known in private. ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
America when will you be angelic?
When will you take off your clothes? ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
Brainwash cried Romney, the Governor of Pollution ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
My style of performance poetry came from the beatniks, Allen Ginsberg. ~ Patti Smith
Ginsberg quotes by Patti Smith
The Jews always complained, kvetching about false gods, and erected the
biggest false God, Jehovah, in middle of western civilization. ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does. ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
Allen Ginsberg was a world authority on the writing of William Blake, and had an incredible knowledge of classic literature and world politics. ~ David Amram
Ginsberg quotes by David Amram
I was looking at the sensoriums of heroes. I was sensing through the eyes and nose of Shelley and John Webster, and using the hearing and touch of Ginsberg and Duncan and Kerouac–– and the jazz lucidity of Creeley, and the Doug fir of Snyder, and the almost mystical, physical perceptions of D.H. Lawrence and of Olson himself. I was convinced that poetry was about, by, and from, the meat, that poetry was the product of flesh brushing itself against experience. We are seekers moving in the Tathagata brushing ourselves against the universe of the real, solid illusions. It is by our touches that we become ourselves –– as our ancestors became us and as we became our maturing, sharpening, brightening selves. ~ Michael McClure
Ginsberg quotes by Michael McClure
The fact to which we have got to cling, as to a lifebelt, is that it is possible to be a normal decent person and yet be fully alive. ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
Recent history is the record of one vast conspiracy to impose one level of mechanical consciousness on mankind. ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
I shudder, I see the love, I'm doomed, my heart melts again - can't stand not to be in love, can't stand not to be melting with real tenderness, childlike need sweetnesses, that's what's wrong with me. ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
The whole blear world of smoke and twisted steel around my head in a railroad car, and my mind wandering past the rust into futurity: I saw the sun go down in a carnal and primeval world, leaving darkness to cover my railroad train because the other side of the world was waiting for dawn. ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
I believe that we are put here in human form to decipher the hieroglyphs of love and suffering. And, there is no degree of love or intensity of feeling that does not bring with it the possibility of a crippling hurt. But, it is a duty to take that risk and love without reserve or defense. ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg was the favourite bohemian poet of straight college boys who wanted to transgress, and of gay college boys who were not yet ready to come out. ~ Christopher Bram
Ginsberg quotes by Christopher Bram
I write poetry because I want to be alone and want to talk to people. ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
America I've given you all and now I'm nothing. ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
What happened, man? Gerry and Ginsberg are cold, and dead, in the ground. Kesey's stoned, and out of town. We've come to the end of the brotherhood song. The children brandish knives upon each other's throats, and their loaded 45's sit snug in lunch boxes nestled safely between Oreo cookies and a ham sandwich. Where are you now, oh ancient hipsters? Raggedy Beats beat down and broken wheel raggedy wheelchairs down ghostly geriatric wards. Where are you now, oh day-glow dreamers? Have you gotten off the bus and into your Mercedes? Did you get that second mortgage, and bear your fattened little babies? Where is that girl with flowers in her hair? Where is the man with revolution in his veins? We ask ourselves "where did we go wrong?" But there is no we. There is you, and then there is I. You do what you need to survive, And I do what I must to stay alive. We stand here Bleeding, slicing each other's wrists With the icy ridges of hardened jagged hearts, Cassandra's ~ Bearl Brooks
Ginsberg quotes by Bearl Brooks
Man's noblest endowment is his capacity to change. ~ Scott Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Scott Ginsberg
Machine chaos on Earth, Too many bodies, mouths bleeding on every Continent ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
And he imagines cars
and rides them in his dreams,
so lonely growing up among
the imaginary automobiles
and dead souls of Tarrytown
to create
out of his own imagination
the beauty of his wild
forebears - a mythology
he cannot inherit. ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
The kindly search for growth, the gracious desire to exist of the flowers, my near ecstasy at existing ong them
The privilege to witness my existence - you too must seek the sun... ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
We are blind and live our blind lives out in blindness. Poets are damned but they are not blind, they see with the eyes of the angels. ~ William Carlos Williams
Ginsberg quotes by William Carlos Williams
Where are we going, Walt Whitman? The doors close in an hour. Which way does your beard point tonight?
(I touch your book and dream of our odyssey in the supermarket and feel absurd.)
Will we walk all night through solitary streets? The trees add shade to shade, lights out in the houses, we'll both be lonely.
Will we stroll dreaming of the lost America of love past blue automobiles in driveways, home to our silent cottage?
Ah, dear father, graybeard, lonely old courage-teacher, what America did you have when Charon quit poling his ferry and you got out on a smoking bank and stood watching the boat disappear on the black waters of Lethe? ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg turned out to be depressingly prescient when, after a heated argument with Norman Podhoretz in 1958, he yelled, 'We'll get you through your children!' For countless American families, that turned out to be only too true. ~ Roger Kimball
Ginsberg quotes by Roger Kimball
I heard you asking questions of each: Who killed the pork chops? What price bananas? Are you my Angel? ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
I'm too young and ridiculous a person to speak for my generation, but I'd be happy to talk about my own experiences as a generation Y writer. I was raised by a generation of hippies. Throughout my childhood, teachers urged me to fight the establishment. My English teacher assigned Ginsberg and Kerouac and declared Bob Dylan "a genius." My science teacher told me that television was "the new opiate of the masses" and bragged about never having owned one. My drama teacher made us perform Beckett. ~ Simon Rich
Ginsberg quotes by Simon Rich
Ed Friedman: [talking about Patti Smith] One time she told me, "Allen Ginsberg thought I was a cute boy and he tried to pick me up, so I said, "LOOK AT THE TITS, ALLEN! NOTICE THE TITS! ~ Legs McNeil
Ginsberg quotes by Legs McNeil
A missle lost Unprogrammed ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
Significant timeless
reflex in sepulchre:
apparitions of immortality
consumed inward,
waiting openmouthed
in the fireless darkness. ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
I feel my life is sterile, I am unbloomed, unused, I have nothing I can have that I will ever want, only some love, only dearness and tenderness, to make me weep. I am moved now and sad and unhappy beyond cold unhappiness, beyond any inconvenience that will cause you by my affection. ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
So he said, 'What would you like to do? What is your desire really?' I said, 'Doctor, I don't think you're going to find this very healthy and clear, but I really would like to stop working forever–never work again, never do anything like the kind of work I'm doing now–and do nothing but write poetry and have leisure to spend the day outdoors and go to museums and see friends. ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
So I dream nightly of an embarcation,
captains, captains,
iron passageways, cabin lights,
Brooklyn across the waters,
the great dull boat, visitors, farewells,
the blurred vast sea--
one trip a lifetime's loss or gain :

as Europe is my own imagination
--many shall see her,
many shall not--
though it's only the old familiar world
and not some abstract mystical dream.

And in a moment of previsioning sleep
I see that continent in rain,
black streets, old night, a
fading monument . . .

And a long journey unaccomplished
yet, on antique seas
rolling in gray barren dunes under
the world's waste of light
toward ports of childish geography
the rusty ship will
harbor in . . . ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
The city had changed beyond recognition. Wrecking balls and bulldozers had leveled the old buildings to rubble. The dust of construction hung permanently over the streets. Gated mansions reached up to the northern foothills, while slums fanned out from the city's southern limits.
I feared an aged that had lost its heart, and I was terrified at the thought of so many useless hands. Our traditions were our pacifiers and we put ourselves to sleep with the lullaby of a once-great civilation and culture. Ours was the land of poetry flowers, and nightingales - and poets searching for rhymes in history's junkyards. The lottery was our faith and greed our fortune. Our intellectuals were sniffing cocaine and delivering lectures in the back rooms of dark cafés. We bought plastic roses and decorated our lawns and courtyards with plaster swans. We saw the future in neon lights. We had pizza shops, supermarkets, and bowling alleys. We had trafric jams, skyscrapers, and air thick with noise and pollution. We had illiterate villagers who came to the capital with scraps of paper in their hands, begging for someone to show them the way to this medical clinic or that government officee. the streets of Tehran were full of Mustangs and Chevys bought at three times the price they sold for back in America, and still our oil wasn't our own. Still our country wasn't our own. ~ Jasmin Darznik
Ginsberg quotes by Jasmin Darznik
If I were stranded in the woods with nothing to eat but nuts, berries, and the complete works of Allen Ginsberg, I'd eat the latter first, because at least the nuts and berries might be inspirational to my poetry. ~ Jarod Kintz
Ginsberg quotes by Jarod Kintz
...my man world will blow up ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
The Rolling Stones were an inkling towards an appreciation of the unity of music, dance and words. Any of the black R&B people who had a stage show that involved dancing, music and words did the same thing, except that I thought Jagger's words were good, his music was good and his dancing was good. I spoke to him about Blake and tried to get him to sing [William] Blake's The Grey Monk, to use his words as lyrics. He didn't do it. In the end, I did it myself. ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
What thoughts I have of you tonight, Walt Whit-
man, for I walked down the sidestreets under the trees
with a headache self-conscious looking at the full moon.
In my hungry fatigue, and shopping for images,
I went into the neon fruit supermarket, dreaming of
your enumerations! ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
Man is no form no mighty molecule no just
idea alone - all that Thing -
I feel man tender radiance at Heart between
breast and belly, that physical place
where the Self urges - delicate sensation ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
Earth pollution identical with Mind pollution, consciousness Pollution identical with filthy sky ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
Another lover hits the universe. The circle is broken. But with death comes rebirth. And like all lovers and sad people, I am a poet. ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
The universe is mad, slightly mad. ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
YOUR NAME IS WRITTEN IN HEAVEN ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
I eat a catfish sandwich
with onions and red sauce
20c. (Havana 1953) ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
By the 'best minds' Ginsberg meant the dropouts, poets, musicians and world travellers, as opposed to doctors and lawyers. He understood that Wrong Planet people tend to pick up better communication skills, have greater visualisation, and can adapt to changing circumstances quicker than Rag, Tag & Bobtail. ~ Karl Wiggins
Ginsberg quotes by Karl Wiggins
Homosexuals are delicate and bad poetry is delicate and [Allen] Ginsberg turned the tables by making homosexual poetry strong poetry, almost manly poetry; but in the long run, the homo will remain the homo and not the poet. ~ Charles Bukowski
Ginsberg quotes by Charles Bukowski
Ms. Ginsberg. I wonder if you can help me. I have a legal question," Felicity Mason said. Great. I hated giving out free legal advice at parties, but at that moment, I would have drafted her will in crayon on a cocktail napkin to get away from Cole. ~ N.M. Silber
Ginsberg quotes by N.M. Silber
Regarding R. H. Blyth: Blyth's four volume Haiku became especially popular at this time [1950's] because his translations were based on the assumption that the haiku was the poetic expression of Zen. Not surprisingly, his books attracted the attention of the Beat school, most notably writers such as Allen Ginsberg, Gary Snyder and Jack Kerouac, all of whom had a prior interest in Zen. ~ Reginald Horace Blyth
Ginsberg quotes by Reginald Horace Blyth
I'm with you in Rockland, where we are great writers on this same dreadful typewriter. ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
I had been up all night with my old friend Allen Ginsberg, the poet, and we had both slid into the abyss of whiskey madness and full-bore substance abuse. It was wonderful, ~ Hunter S. Thompson
Ginsberg quotes by Hunter S. Thompson
Unless Chase Bank quits I prophesy blood violence ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
Central Intelligence cutting Meo opium fields! China Lobby copping poppies in Burma! How long this Addict government support our oil-burner matter-habit ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
Nobody wants to hear about your feelings, darling, tell me what you see! ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
Poetry's role is to provide spontaneous individual candor as distinct from manipulation and brainwash. ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
Well, while I'm here I'll do the work - and what's the work? To ease the pain of living. Everything else, drunken dumbshow. ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
Anger falling asleep at the heart ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
Washing terror-waves round earth-globe back to suburb TV home night kitchens ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
The Package is the Product, onomatopoeticized ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
If my opinion runs more than twenty pages," she said, "I am disturbed that I couldn't do it shorter." The mantra in her chambers is "Get it right and keep it tight." She disdains legal Latin, and demands extra clarity in an opinion's opening lines, which she hopes the public will understand. "If you can say it in plain English, you should," RBG says. Going through "innumerable drafts," the goal is to write an opinion where no sentence should need to be read twice. "I think that law should be a literary profession," RBG says, "and the best legal practitioners regard law as an art as well as a craft. ~ Irin Carmon
Ginsberg quotes by Irin Carmon
Be careful, you are not in Wonderland. I've heard the strange madness long growing in your soul. But you are fortunate in your ignorance, in your isolation. You who have suffered, find where love hides. Give, share, lose - lest we die, unbloomed. ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
Slaves of Plastic! Leather-shoe chino-pants prisoners! Haircut junkies! Dacron-shiffers! ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
I am the defense early warning radar system
I see nothing but bombs ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
Song
Allen Ginsberg

The weight of the world
is love.
Under the burden
of solitude,
under the burden
of dissatisfaction

the weight,
the weight we carry
is love.

Who can deny?
In dreams
it touches
the body,
in thought
constructs
a miracle,
in imagination
anguishes
till born
in human -
looks out of the heart
burning with purity -
for the burden of life
is love,

but we carry the weight
wearily,
and so must rest
in the arms of love
at last,
must rest in the arms
of love.

No rest
without love,
no sleep
without dreams
of love -
be mad or chill
obsessed with angels
or machines,
the final wish
is love
- cannot be bitter,
cannot deny,
cannot withhold
if denied:

the weight is too heavy

- must give
for no return
as thought
is given
in solitude
in all the excellence
of its excess.

The warm bodies
shine together
in the darkness,
the hand moves
to the center
of the flesh,
the skin trembles
in happiness
and the soul comes
joyful to the eye -
**
yes, yes,
that's what
I wanted,
I always wanted,
I always wanted,
to return
to the body
where I was bor ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
Being burned out is a lot better than having no fire in the fist place. ~ Scott Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Scott Ginsberg
The real America that Whitman proclaimed and Thoreau decoded. ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
One must verge on the unknown, write toward the truth hitherto unrecognizable of one's own sincerity, including the avoidable beauty of doom, shame, and embarrassment, that very area of personal self-recognition,(detailed individual is universal remember) which formal conventions, internalized, keep us from discovering in ourselves and others ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
America, how can I write a holy litany in your silly mood? ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
What sphinx of cement and aluminium bashed open their skulls and ate up their brains and imagination ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
Night is the wonderful opportunity to take rest, to forgive, to smile, to get ready for all the battles that you have to fight tomorrow. ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
Strange now to think of you, gone without corsets & eyes, while I walk on the sunny pavement of Greenwich Village. downtown Manhattan, clear winter noon, and I've been up all night, talking, talking, reading the Kaddish aloud, listening to Ray Charles blues shout blind on the phonograph ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
Holy the supernatural extra brilliant intelligent kindness of the soul! ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
You too must seek the sun... ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
If only the court had acted more slowly,' RBG said, and cut down one state law at a time the way she had gotten them to do with the jury and benefit cases. The justices could have been persuaded to build an architecture of women's equality that could house reproductive freedom. She said the very boldness of Roe, striking down all abortion bans until viability, had 'halted a political process that was moving in a reform direction and thereby, I believe, prolonged divisiveness and deferred stable settlement of the issue. (85). ~ Irin Carmon
Ginsberg quotes by Irin Carmon
Concentrate on what you want to say to yourself and your friends. Follow your inner moonlight; don't hide the madness. You say what you want to say when you don't care who's listening. ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
Sunflower poised against the sunset, crackly bleak and dusty with the smut and smog and smoke of olden locomotives in its eye
corolla of bleary spikes pushed down and broken like a battered crown, seeds fallen out of its face, soon-to-be-toothless mouth of sunny air, sunrays obliterated on its hairy head like a dried wire spiderweb,
leaves stuck out like arms out of the stem, gestures from the sawdust root, broke pieces of plaster fallen out of the black twigs, a dead fly in its ear ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
Who dreamt
and made incarnate gaps in Time & Space
through images juxtaposed,
and trapped the archangel of the soul between 2 visual images
and joined the elemental verbs and set the noun
and dash of consciousness together
jumping with sensation of Pater Omnipotens Aeterna Deus
to recreate the syntax and measure of poor human
prose and stand before you speechless and intelligent and shaking with shame ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
Ultimately Warhol's private moral reference was to the supreme kitsch of the Catholic church. ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
Hairy Mammal whaddya want ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
the day of the publication of the true literature of the American body will be day of Revolution
the revolution of the sexy lamb ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
Fortunately art is a community effort - a small but select community living in a spiritualized world endeavoring to interpret the wars and the solitudes of the flesh. ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
That's the place where the books are made, I thought. That's also where Allen Ginsberg offered a friend of mine a Fig Newton outside a deli in the East Village. By the time I first came to New York, I was already half in love. ~ Garth Risk Hallberg
Ginsberg quotes by Garth Risk Hallberg
I am a more disinterested Ginsberg admirer than Eddie is. Eddie, so to speak, comes to the table with a croupier's rake. He works for the house. He skims from poetry. ~ Saul Bellow
Ginsberg quotes by Saul Bellow
Democracy! Bah! When I hear that word I reach for my feather boa! ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
You can't photograph everything. ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
Alan Ginsberg was fabulous. The man is so filled with energy. He's 65 years old and he's just loaded with energy and charm and wit and his mind is constantly racing. ~ Ray Manzarek
Ginsberg quotes by Ray Manzarek
When you notice something clearly and see it vividly, it then becomes sacred. ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
I had a moment of clarity, saw the feeling in the heart of things, walked out to the garden crying. ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
What prophecy actually is is not that you actually know that the bomb will fall in 1942. It's that you know and feel something that somebody knows and feels in a hundred years. And maybe articulate it in a hint - a concrete way that they can pick up on in a hundred years. ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
My psychoanalyst thinks I'm perfectly right. ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
The best thing about being famous is that it makes it easier to get laid. ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
I think it was when I ran into Kerouac and Burroughs - when I was 17 - that I realized I was talking through an empty skull ... I wasn't thinking my own thoughts or saying my own thoughts. ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
Since art is merely and ultimately self-expressive, we conclude that the fullest art, the most individual, uninfluenced, unrepressed, uninhibited expression of art is true expression and the true art. ~ Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg quotes by Allen Ginsberg
