More quotes by Allen Ginsberg
Things are symbols of themselves.
Allen Ginsberg
Breathe when you breathe. Walk where you walk. Talk when you talk. Cry when you cry. Die when you die. Let go when you let go.
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
None of us understand what we're doing, but we do beautiful things anyway.
Allen Ginsberg
What came is gone forever every time
Allen Ginsberg
If I had a soul I sold it for pretty words If I had a body I used it up spurting my essence Allen Ginsberg warns you dont follow my path to extinction
Allen Ginsberg
When you notice something clearly and see it vividly, it then becomes sacred.
Allen Ginsberg
To gain your own voice you have to forget about having it heard.
Allen Ginsberg
The only thing that can save the world is the reclaiming of the awareness of the world. That's what poetry does. By poetry I mean the imagining of what has been lost and what can be found - the imagining of who we are and the slow realization of it.
Allen Ginsberg
Sometime I’ll lay down my wrath, As I lay my body down Between the ache of breath and breath, Golden slumber in the bone.
Allen Ginsberg
Everything is holy! everybody's holy! everywhere is holy! everyday is in eternity! Everyman's an angel!
Allen Ginsberg
A naked lunch is natural to us We eat reality sandwiches. But allegories are so much lettuce. Don't hide the madness.
Allen Ginsberg
I want to be a saint, a real saint while I am young, for there is so much work to do.
Allen Ginsberg
The soul is innocent and immortal, it should never die ungodly in an armed madhouse.
Allen Ginsberg
Sanity - a trick of agreement
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
Mind is shapely, Art is shapely.
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
The actual materials are important. A book at the nightstand is important - a light you can get at - or a flashlight as Kerouac had a brakeman's latern.
Allen Ginsberg
Naked in solitary prison cell he looks down at a hard-on.
Allen Ginsberg
