I know I'm not God, are you? Don't be silly. God? God? Everybody's God? Don't be silly.
Allen Ginsberg
we're all golden sunflowers inside.
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
Scientist alone is true poet he gives us the moon he promises the stars he'll make us a new universe if it comes to that.
Allen Ginsberg
Things are symbols of themselves.
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
Nobody saves America by sniffing cocaine. Jiggling your knees blankeyed in the rain, when it snows in your nose you catch cold in your brain.
Allen Ginsberg
I think it was when I ran into Kerouac and Burroughs - when I was 17 - that I realized I was talking through an empty skull... I wasn't thinking my own thoughts or saying my own thoughts.
Allen Ginsberg
The only thing that can save the world is the reclaiming of the awareness of the world. That's what poetry does. By poetry I mean the imagining of what has been lost and what can be found - the imagining of who we are and the slow realization of it.
Allen Ginsberg
My books piled up before me for my use waiting in space where I placed them, they haven't disappeared, time's left its remnants and qualities for me to use -- my words piled up, my texts, my manuscripts, my loves.
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
All these books are published in Heaven.
Allen Ginsberg
To get on screen with the Talking Asshole, quite a feat. And it's certainly going to be a cult film that people will be seeing.
Allen Ginsberg
I'm an old man now, and a lonesome man in Kansas / but not afraid / to speak my lonesomeness in a car, / because not only my lonesomeness / it's Ours, all over America, / O tender fellows --/ & spoken lonesomeness is Prophecy / in the moon 100 years ago or in / the middle of Kansas now.
Allen Ginsberg
First thoughts are the strongest.
Allen Ginsberg
I have a new method of poetry. All you got to do is look over your notebooks... or lay down on a couch, and think of anything that comes into your head, especially the miseries. Then arrange in lines of two, three or four words each, don't bother about sentences, in sections of two, three or four lines each.
Allen Ginsberg
who burned cigarette holes in their arms protesting the narcotic tobacco haze of Capitalism
Allen Ginsberg
I saw you, Walt Whitman, childless, lonely old grubber,poking among the meats in the refrigerator and eyeing the grocery boys. I heard you asking questions of each: Who killed the pork chops? What price bananas? Are you my Angel?
Allen Ginsberg
We love to be hurt and we love to have our unhealing wounds opened and reopened again: we sit staring in the mirror of art, fascinated by our own deformities.
Allen Ginsberg
The real America that Whitman proclaimed and Thoreau decoded.
