I want to be a saint, a real saint while I am young, for there is so much work to do.
Allen GinsbergLast Exit to Brooklyn should explode like a rusty hellish bombshell over America and still be eagerly read in a hundred years.
Allen GinsbergI'm an old man now, and a lonesome man in Kansas / but not afraid / to speak my lonesomeness in a car, / because not only my lonesomeness / it's Ours, all over America, / O tender fellows --/ & spoken lonesomeness is Prophecy / in the moon 100 years ago or in / the middle of Kansas now.
Allen Ginsberg
