Death Quote by Allen Ginsberg — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“If I had a soul I sold it”

“I know I'm not God, are you? Don't be silly.”

“I really believe, or want to believe, really I am nuts, otherwise I'll never be sane.”

“Thank God I am not God! Thank God I am not God!”

“I never dreamed the sea so deep,”

“I learned a world from each / one whom I loved”

“What do you think has become of the young and old men?”

“Her concern with landscapes and living creatures was passionate. This concern, feebly called, "the love of nature" seemed to Shevek to be something much broader than love. There are souls, he thought, whose umbilicus has never been cut. They never got weaned from the universe. They do not understand death as an enemy; they look forward to rotting and turning into humus. It was strange to see Takver take a leaf into her hand, or even a rock. She became an extension of it, it of her.”

“If it is true that by death we once more become what we were before being, would it not have been better to abide by that pure possibility, not to stir from it? What use was this detour, when we might have remained forever in an unrealized plenitude?”

“I was diamond on the outside, and I would not break.”

“Just because a person dies doesn't mean it should change the way you feel about them, or the way they really were. Just because they're gone doesn't mean that they weren't a bad person or that they never fucked up.”
