Nobody saves America by sniffing cocaine,
jiggling your knees blankly in the rain.
When it snows in your nose
you catch cold in your brain. – Allen Ginsberg
I really would like to stop working forever—never work again, never do anything like the kind of work I’m doing now—and do nothing but write poetry and have leisure to spend the day outdoors and go to museums and see friends…. Just a literary and quiet city-hermit existence. – 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
When you notice something clearly and see it vividly, it then becomes sacred. – Allen Ginsberg
Its hard for women who make a lot of money and make decisions all day long, then they have to come home and be Stupid Sally. Men need respect, and they need to know that they can lead in the relationship, so even if they dont make the most money they need to be able to call the shots. – Patti Stanger
