Additional quotes by Allen Ginsberg

Whoever controls the media, the
images, controls the culture.

I am bored with these frantic cravings, tired of them and therefore myself, and contemptuous though tolerant of all my vast powers of self-pity and self-expressive misery.

Nobody knows whether we were catalysts or invented something, or just the froth riding on a wave of its own. We were all three, I suppose. - Allen Ginsberg
