Allen Ginsberg

Allen Ginsberg
Night is the wonderful opportunity to take rest, to forgive, to smile, to get ready for all the battles that you have to fight tomorrow.
Allen Ginsberg
When it snows in your nose, you catch cold in your brain.
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
Sanity - a trick of agreement
Allen Ginsberg
That's what the shaman said. He didn't know what he was up against. He didn't expect the strength and weight and evil intensity of this spirit, this entity, as he called it. The same way the priest in an exorcism has to take on the spirit.
Allen Ginsberg
The real America that Whitman proclaimed and Thoreau decoded.
Allen Ginsberg
Affection is the most important thing. And the quality of affection - with your friends, your lovers, your family. But particularly for your own generation.
Allen Ginsberg
