More quotes by 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
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
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

Allen Ginsberg
Which way will the sunflower turn surrounded by millions of suns?
Allen Ginsberg
The closet door is open for me, where I left it, since I left it open, it has graciously stayed open.
Allen Ginsberg
The desire to have power dissolves. The desire to dominate people for love dissolves. On the other hand, it's a relief to realize you can let go.
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
Everybody's serious but me.
Allen Ginsberg
Sanity - a trick of agreement
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
I heard you asking questions of each: Who killed the pork chops? What price bananas? Are you my Angel?
Allen Ginsberg
The weight of the world is love. Under the burden of solitude, under the burden of dissatisfaction.
Allen Ginsberg
