More quotes by Allen Ginsberg
Mind is shapely, Art is shapely.
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
The hero surviving his own murder, his own suicide, his own addiction, surviving his own disappearance from the scene
Allen Ginsberg
There should be no distinction between what we write down, and what we really know.
Allen Ginsberg
The suffering itself is not so bad it's the resentment against suffering that is the real pain.
Allen Ginsberg
…we’re all beautiful golden sunflowers inside, we’re all blessed by our own seed & golden hairy naked accomplishment (Sunflower Sutra)
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
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
in my dreams you walk dripping from a sea journey on the highway across America in tears to the door of my cottage in the Western night
Allen Ginsberg
A poem is like a radio that can broadcast continuously for thousands of years.
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
America, I've given you all and now I'm nothing.
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
To gain your own voice, forget about having it heard. Become a saint of your own province and your own consciousness.
Allen Ginsberg
Poetry's role is to provide spontaneous individual candor as distinct from manipulation and brainwash.
Allen Ginsberg
he threw up his hands and wrote the Universe dont exist and died to prove it
Allen Ginsberg
The poignancy of a photograph comes from looking back to a fleeting moment in a floating world. The transitoriness is what creates the sense of the sacred
Allen Ginsberg
You can't photograph everything.
Allen Ginsberg
The fact to which we have got to cling, as to a lifebelt, is that it is possible to be a normal decent person and yet be fully alive.
Allen Ginsberg
