More quotes by Allen Ginsberg
Things are symbols of themselves.
Allen Ginsberg
What is obscenity? And to whom?
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
America, how can I write a holy litany in your silly mood?
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
Tell your secrets. [In reply to the question How does one become a prophet?]
Allen Ginsberg
I never dreamed the sea so deep, The earth so dark so long my sleep, I have become another child. I wake to see the world go wild.
Allen Ginsberg
We are great writers on the same dreadful typewriter
Allen Ginsberg
From it's inception Beat poetry was hailed as something NEW and like all good spontaneous jazz, newness is acceptable and expected - by hip people who listen. But the newness of jazz has in it the echoes of J. S. Bach.
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
Last Exit to Brooklyn should explode like a rusty hellish bombshell over America and still be eagerly read in a hundred years.
Allen Ginsberg
I know too much and not enough
Allen Ginsberg
The Jews always complained, kvetching about false gods, and erected the biggest false God, Jehovah, in middle of western civilization.
Allen Ginsberg
I know I'm not God, are you? Don't be silly. God? God? Everybody's God? Don't be silly.
Allen Ginsberg
My books piled up before me for my use waiting in space where I placed them, they haven't disappeared, time's left its remnants and qualities for me to use -- my words piled up, my texts, my manuscripts, my loves.
Allen Ginsberg
The soul is innocent and immortal, it should never die ungodly in an armed madhouse.
Allen Ginsberg
I saw you, Walt Whitman, childless, lonely old grubber,poking among the meats in the refrigerator and eyeing the grocery boys. I heard you asking questions of each: Who killed the pork chops? What price bananas? Are you my Angel?
Allen Ginsberg
Now I have enough money to travel wherever I want, but I haven't got the health.
Allen Ginsberg
I don't do anything with my life except romanticize and decay with indecision.
Allen Ginsberg
America I used to be a communist when I was a kid and I'm not sorry.
Allen Ginsberg
