More quotes by Allen Ginsberg
Poetry is the one place where people can speak their original human mind. It is the outlet for people to say in public what is known in private.
Allen Ginsberg

Allen Ginsberg
Recent history is the record of one vast conspiracy to impose one level of mechanical consciousness on mankind.
Allen Ginsberg
You can't escape the past in Paris, and yet what's so wonderful about it is that the past and present intermingle so intangibly that it doesn't seem to burden.
Allen Ginsberg
I believe that we are put here in human form to decipher the hieroglyphs of love and suffering. And, there is no degree of love or intensity of feeling that does not bring with it the possibility of a crippling hurt. But, it is a duty to take that risk and love without reserve or defense.
Allen Ginsberg
First thoughts are the strongest.
Allen Ginsberg
Last Exit to Brooklyn should explode like a rusty hellish bombshell over America and still be eagerly read in a hundred years.
Allen Ginsberg
I smoke marijuana every chance I get.
Allen Ginsberg
To gain your own voice you have to forget about having it heard.
Allen Ginsberg
