Allen Ginsberg
When you notice something clearly and see it vividly, it then becomes sacred.
Allen Ginsberg
Thank God I am not God! Thank God I am not God!

There is nothing to be learned from history anymore. We're in science fiction now.
Allen Ginsberg
Who’ll come lie down in the dark with me Belly to belly and knee to knee Who’ll look into my hooded eye Who’ll lie down under my darkened thigh?
Allen Ginsberg

Allen Ginsberg
Night is the wonderful opportunity to take rest, to forgive, to smile, to get ready for all the battles that you have to fight tomorrow.
Allen Ginsberg
Well, while I'm here I'll do the work — and what's the work? To ease the pain of living. Everything else, drunken dumbshow.
Allen Ginsberg
First thought, best thought.
Allen Ginsberg
Now I have enough money to travel wherever I want, but I haven't got the health.
Allen Ginsberg
All these books are published in Heaven.
Allen Ginsberg
The soul is innocent and immortal, it should never die ungodly in an armed madhouse.
Allen Ginsberg
First thoughts are the strongest.
Allen Ginsberg
