More quotes by Allen Ginsberg

Allen Ginsberg
First thought, best thought.
Allen Ginsberg
The real America that Whitman proclaimed and Thoreau decoded.
Allen Ginsberg
I am learning by the week, but my poesy is still not my own. New rhyme, new me me me in words. I am not all this carven rhetoric.
Allen Ginsberg
Follow your inner moonlight don't hide the madness.
Allen Ginsberg
America, I've given you all and now I'm nothing.
Allen Ginsberg

Allen Ginsberg

Poets are Damned... but See with the Eyes of Angels.
Allen Ginsberg
Visions! omens! hallucinations! miracles! ecstasies! gone down the American river! Dreams! adorations! illumnations! religions! the whole boatload of sensitive bullshit!
Allen Ginsberg
Because systems of mass communication can communicate only officially acceptable levels of reality, no one can know the extent of the secret unconscious life. No one in America can know what will happen. No one is in real control.
Allen Ginsberg
Subject is known by what she sees.
Allen Ginsberg
Affection is the most important thing. And the quality of affection - with your friends, your lovers, your family. But particularly for your own generation.
Allen Ginsberg
A poem is like a radio that can broadcast continuously for thousands of years.
Allen Ginsberg
Ultimately Warhol's private moral reference was to the supreme kitsch of the Catholic church.
Allen Ginsberg
Taxi September along Jessore Road Oxcart skeletons drag charcoal load past watery fields thru rain flood ruts Dung cakes on treetrunks, plastic-roof huts Wet processions Families walk Stunted boys big heads don't talk Look bony skulls & silent round eyes Starving black angels in human disguise.
Allen Ginsberg
First thoughts are the strongest.

All these books are published in Heaven.
