Allen Ginsberg
You too must seek the sun.
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
Everybody's serious but me.
Allen Ginsberg
To gain your own voice, forget about having it heard. Become a saint of your own province and your own consciousness.
Allen Ginsberg
Whoever controls the media, the images, controls the culture.
