More quotes by Allen Ginsberg
The weight of the world is love. Under the burden of solitude, under the burden of dissatisfaction.
Allen Ginsberg
The first person who really showed me the ugly spirit was Brion Gysin. The ugly spirit shot Joan because . . . and I never found out why. This Brion wrote out on a piece of paper in a sort of trance state.
Allen Ginsberg
Scientist alone is true poet he gives us the moon he promises the stars he'll make us a new universe if it comes to that.
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

Allen Ginsberg
I am neither romantic nor a visionary, and that is my weakness and perhaps my power at any rate it is one difference. In less romantic and visionary terms, I am a Jew, (with powers of introspection and eclecticism attendant, perhaps.) But I am alien to your natural grace, to the spirit which you would know as a participator in America.
Allen Ginsberg

Allen Ginsberg
Mind is shapely, Art is shapely.
Allen Ginsberg
They [Nicaragua] haven't had elections because they are in a state of seige by the United States. They would have had elections if the U.S. had left them alone. But the U.S. has mounted a full scale war against them. So how can you ask them to behave normally?
Allen Ginsberg
You too must seek the sun.
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
Now I have enough money to travel wherever I want, but I haven't got the health.
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
An unnoticed corner of the world suddenly becomes noticed, and when you notice something clearly and see it vividly, it becomes sacred. (On Robert Frank's photography)
Allen Ginsberg
The hero surviving his own murder, his own suicide, his own addiction, surviving his own disappearance from the scene
Allen Ginsberg
Let go of the spirit of the departed, and continue the celebration of your own life.
