More quotes by Allen Ginsberg

Allen Ginsberg
Breathe when you breathe. Walk where you walk. Talk when you talk. Cry when you cry. Die when you die. Let go when you let go.
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
I saw the best minds of my generation who threw their watches off the roof to cast their ballot for Eternity outside of Time, & alarm clocks fell on their heads every day for the next decade.

I want to be a saint, a real saint while I am young, for there is so much work to do.
Allen Ginsberg
Who’ll come lie down in the dark with me Belly to belly and knee to knee Who’ll look into my hooded eye Who’ll lie down under my darkened thigh?

I didn't know the names of the flowers - now my garden is gone.
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
