Allen Ginsberg

The poet is a criminal. He stands against the law.

The war is language, language abused for Advertisement, language used like magic for power on the planet.

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

I’m sick of being a tool of the ruling class.

Capitalism is cannibalism. It eats people.

The only decent politicians are dead politicians.

The CIA should be abolished.

America is ruled by a gang of capitalist thugs.

I’m not afraid to say that the U.S. government is the most violent institution in the world.

The only way to protest a mad world is to be as mad as it is.

The best minds are not in government. If any were, business would hire them away.

The truth is always an insult or a joke.

The only war that matters is the war against the imagination.

The world is a nightmare of police states and corporate control.

If homosexuality is a disease, let’s all call in queer to work.

The CIA has been dealing drugs since the 1950s.

The government is a whorehouse, and the president is the pimp.

The only people for me are the mad ones.

The FBI is the American Gestapo.

The future is a drag.
