There is nothing to be learned from history anymore. We're in science fiction now.
Allen Ginsberg
Mind is shapely, Art is shapely.
Allen Ginsberg
Because systems of mass communication can communicate only officially acceptable levels of reality, no one can know the extent of the secret unconscious life. No one in America can know what will happen. No one is in real control.
Allen Ginsberg
None of us understand what we're doing, but we do beautiful things anyway.
Allen Ginsberg
Many seek and never see, anyone can tell them why. O they weep and O they cry and never take until they try unless they try it in their sleep and never some until they die. I ask many, they ask me. This is a great mystery.
Allen Ginsberg
Everything is holy! everybody's holy! everywhere is holy! everyday is in eternity! Everyman's an angel!

Allen Ginsberg
Let the straight flower bespeak its purpose in straightness - to seek the light. Let the crooked flower bespeak its purpose in crookedness - to seek the light. Let the crookedness and straightness bespeak the light.
Allen Ginsberg
You assume we are all sexually stable while on the other hand, as I have become acquainted with people, I find that they are all perverted sinners, one way or another, that the whole society is corrupt and rotten and repressed and unconscious that it exhibits its repression in various forms of social sadism.
Allen Ginsberg
You can't photograph everything.
Allen Ginsberg

Allen Ginsberg
The suffering itself is not so bad it's the resentment against suffering that is the real pain.
Allen Ginsberg
Holy the supernatural extra brilliant intelligent kindness of the soul!
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
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
America, why are your libraries full of tears?
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
I touch your book and dream of our odyssey in the supermarket and feel absurd.
Allen Ginsberg
Things are symbols of themselves.
Allen Ginsberg
