America, why are your libraries full of tears?

All these books are published in Heaven.

You say what you want to say when you don't care who's listening. If you're grasping to get your own voice, you're making a strained attempt to talk, so it's a matter of just listening to yourself as you sound when you're talking about something that's intensely important to you.

Which way will the sunflower turn surrounded by millions of suns?

From it's inception Beat poetry was hailed as something NEW and like all good spontaneous jazz, newness is acceptable and expected - by hip people who listen. But the newness of jazz has in it the echoes of J. S. Bach.

The censorship of language is the censorship of consciousness.

I didn't know the names of the flowers - now my garden is gone.

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.

A poem is like a radio that can broadcast continuously for thousands of years.
