More quotes by Allen Ginsberg
The suffering itself is not so bad it's the resentment against suffering that is the real pain.
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
Let go of the spirit of the departed, and continue the celebration of your own life.
Allen Ginsberg
The soul is innocent and immortal, it should never die ungodly in an armed madhouse.
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
Visions! omens! hallucinations! miracles! ecstasies! gone down the American river! Dreams! adorations! illumnations! religions! the whole boatload of sensitive bullshit!
Allen Ginsberg
Poets are Damned... but See with the Eyes of Angels.
Allen Ginsberg
It's time we did something to assert ourselves. After all, we do comprise 10% of the population.
Allen Ginsberg
When it snows in your nose, you catch cold in your brain.
Allen Ginsberg
Marijuana is a useful catalyst for specific optical and aural aesthetic perceptions. I apprehended the structure of certain pieces of jazz and classical music in a new manner under the influence of marijuana, and these apprehensions have remained valid in years of normal consciousness.
