More quotes by Allen Ginsberg
We are great writers on the same dreadful typewriter
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

Allen Ginsberg
Everything is holy! everybody's holy! everywhere is holy! everyday is in eternity! Everyman's an angel!
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

Allen Ginsberg
The desire to have power dissolves. The desire to dominate people for love dissolves. On the other hand, it's a relief to realize you can let go.
Allen Ginsberg
You too must seek the sun.
Allen Ginsberg

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
Concentrate on what you want to say to yourself and your friends. Follow your inner moonlight don't hide the madness. You say what you want to say when you don't care who's listening.
Allen Ginsberg
The weight of the world is love. Under the burden of solitude, under the burden of dissatisfaction.
Allen Ginsberg
Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.
Allen Ginsberg
When you notice something clearly and see it vividly, it then becomes sacred.
Allen Ginsberg
The apparition of an evil, sick unconscious wild city rose before me in visible semblance, and about the dead buildings in the barren air, the bodies of the soul that built the wonderland shuffled and stalked and stalked and lurched in attitudes of immemorial nightmare all around.
Allen Ginsberg
How sick i am! that thought Always comes to me with horror. Is it this strange for everybody? But such fugitive feelings have always been my metier.
Allen Ginsberg
It's time we did something to assert ourselves. After all, we do comprise 10% of the population.
Allen Ginsberg
I touch your book and dream of our odyssey in the supermarket and feel absurd.
Allen Ginsberg
I know I'm not God, are you? Don't be silly. God? God? Everybody's God? Don't be silly.
Allen Ginsberg
