More quotes by Allen Ginsberg
The combination of drugs, homosexuality, some good prose recited on screen. . . . In the sweat lodge ceremony we went through, did you get any glimpse of the Ugly Spirit, what that was historically or biographically?
Allen Ginsberg
You are what you think about all day.
Allen Ginsberg
I don't think there is any truth. There are only points of view.
Allen Ginsberg
I have a new method of poetry. All you got to do is look over your notebooks... or lay down on a couch, and think of anything that comes into your head, especially the miseries. Then arrange in lines of two, three or four words each, don't bother about sentences, in sections of two, three or four lines each.
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
I had a moment of clarity, saw the feeling in the heart of things, walked out to the garden crying.
Allen Ginsberg
America I used to be a communist when I was a kid and I'm not sorry.
Allen Ginsberg
Let go of the spirit of the departed, and continue the celebration of your own life.
Allen Ginsberg
This is the one and only firmament therefore it is the absolute world. There is no other world. The circle is complete. I am living in Eternity. The ways of this world are the ways of Heaven.
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
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
Visions! omens! hallucinations! miracles! ecstasies! gone down the American river! Dreams! adorations! illumnations! religions! the whole boatload of sensitive bullshit!
Allen Ginsberg
Subject is known by what she sees.
Allen Ginsberg
Our heads are round so thought can change direction
Allen Ginsberg
The typewriter is holy the poem is holy the voice is holy the hearers are holy the ecstacy is holy!
Allen Ginsberg
First thoughts are the strongest.
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
No rest without love, no sleep without dreams of love- be mad or chill obsessed with angels or machines, the final wish is love -cannot be bitter, cannot deny, cannot withhold if denied: the weight is too heavy
Allen Ginsberg
Presumably, if you see spirit at the moment it gained access, then it'll be dropped.
Allen Ginsberg
Ordinary mind includes eternal perceptions. Notice what you notice. Observe what's vivid. Catch yourself thinking. Vividness is self-selecting. And remember the future.
Allen Ginsberg
