Allen Ginsberg Quotes

None of us understand what we’re doing, but we do beautiful things anyway Picture Quote #1

The CIA and the Mafia are in cahoots Picture Quote #1

He threw up his hands and wrote the Universe don’t exist and died to prove it Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I don’t think there’s any problem with advancing consciousness and becoming more and more aware of the struggle, not with the world, not to convince other people to do anything. The really interesting think is the struggle with the self, and the relation with the self, and there is no end to the improvement that can be done there, the discoveries that can be made Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Are you being sinister or is this some form of practical joke? I’m trying to come to the point. I refuse to give up my obsession Picture Quote #1

The weight of the world is love. Under the burden of solitude, under the burden of dissatisfaction Picture Quote #1

The fact to which we have got to cling, as to a lifebelt, is that it is possible to be a normal decent person and yet be fully alive Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Breathe when you breathe. Walk where you walk. Talk when you talk. Cry when you cry. Die when you die. Let go when you let go Picture Quote #1

What if somebody gave a war and nobody came? Life would ring the bells of ecstasy and forever be itself again Picture Quote #1

There is nothing to be learned from history any more. We’re in science fiction now Picture Quote #1

With the absolute heart of the poem of life butchered out of their own bodies good to eat a thousand years Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

It isn’t enough for your heart to break because everybody’s heart is broken now Picture Quote #1

What sphinx of cement and aluminium bashed open their skulls and ate up their brains and imagination Picture Quote #1

The closet door is open for me, where I left it, since I left it open, it has graciously stayed open Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

The typewriter is holy the poem is holy the voice is holy the hearers are holy the ecstacy is holy! Picture Quote #1
