Allen Ginsberg
I had a moment of clarity, saw the feeling in the heart of things, walked out to the garden crying.
Allen Ginsberg
Who can live with this Consciousness and not wake frightened at sunrise?
Allen Ginsberg
The Jews always complained, kvetching about false gods, and erected the biggest false God, Jehovah, in middle of western civilization.
Allen Ginsberg
