More quotes by Allen Ginsberg
To gain your own voice, forget about having it heard. Become a saint of your own province and your own consciousness.
Allen Ginsberg
If you want to make order, put your own heart in order, and, having put one's heart in order, one can regulate the family order.
Allen Ginsberg
Candor disarms paranoia.
Allen Ginsberg
Taxi September along Jessore Road Oxcart skeletons drag charcoal load past watery fields thru rain flood ruts Dung cakes on treetrunks, plastic-roof huts Wet processions Families walk Stunted boys big heads don't talk Look bony skulls & silent round eyes Starving black angels in human disguise.
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
Who can live with this Consciousness and not wake frightened at sunrise?
Allen Ginsberg
We love to be hurt and we love to have our unhealing wounds opened and reopened again: we sit staring in the mirror of art, fascinated by our own deformities.
Allen Ginsberg
I really believe, or want to believe, really I am nuts, otherwise I'll never be sane.
Allen Ginsberg
This is the same notion - Catholic exorcism, psychotherapy, shamanistic practices - getting to the moment when whatever it was gained access. And also to the name of the spirit. Just to know that it's the Ugly Spirit. That's a great step. Because the spirit doesn't want its name to be known.
Allen Ginsberg
When it snows in your nose, you catch cold in your brain.
Allen Ginsberg
Scientist alone is true poet.
Allen Ginsberg
The weight of the world is love. Under the burden of solitude, under the burden of dissatisfaction.
Allen Ginsberg
The typewriter is holy the poem is holy the voice is holy the hearers are holy the ecstacy is holy!
Allen Ginsberg
I want to be a saint, a real saint while I am young, for there is so much work to do.
Allen Ginsberg
You too must seek the sun.
Allen Ginsberg
I don't think there is any truth. There are only points of view.
Allen Ginsberg
The hero surviving his own murder, his own suicide, his own addiction, surviving his own disappearance from the scene
Allen Ginsberg
We are all exposed to the flash bulb of death.
Allen Ginsberg
Things are symbols of themselves.
Allen Ginsberg
I'm an old man now, and a lonesome man in Kansas / but not afraid / to speak my lonesomeness in a car, / because not only my lonesomeness / it's Ours, all over America, / O tender fellows --/ & spoken lonesomeness is Prophecy / in the moon 100 years ago or in / the middle of Kansas now.
Allen Ginsberg
