More quotes by Allen Ginsberg
There is nothing to be learned from history anymore. We're in science fiction now.
Allen Ginsberg
I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked.
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
I don't think there is any truth. There are only points of view.
Allen Ginsberg
I am neither romantic nor a visionary, and that is my weakness and perhaps my power at any rate it is one difference. In less romantic and visionary terms, I am a Jew, (with powers of introspection and eclecticism attendant, perhaps.) But I am alien to your natural grace, to the spirit which you would know as a participator in America.
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
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
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
Now I have enough money to travel wherever I want, but I haven't got the health.
Allen Ginsberg
When it snows in your nose, you catch cold in your brain.
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
A poem is like a radio that can broadcast continuously for thousands of years.
Allen Ginsberg
I heard you asking questions of each: Who killed the pork chops? What price bananas? Are you my Angel?
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
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
I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked, dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection to the starry dynamo in the machinery of the night.
Allen Ginsberg
You too must seek the sun.
Allen Ginsberg
America, why are your libraries full of tears?
Allen Ginsberg
An unnoticed corner of the world suddenly becomes noticed, and when you notice something clearly and see it vividly, it becomes sacred. (On Robert Frank's photography)
Allen Ginsberg
Poetry's role is to provide spontaneous individual candor as distinct from manipulation and brainwash.
Allen Ginsberg
