"My own experience is that a certain kind of genius among students is best brought out in bed." ― Allen Ginsberg Topic(s): Experience More From Allen Ginsberg "Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It’s that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that’s what the poet does." "I want people to bow as they see me and say he is gifted with poetry, he has seen the presence of the creator." "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." More In Experience "People have perhaps gotten to the point where for the most part movies are a just bit of escape."― Neil LaBute "You don’t cheat anybody out of their experience, whatever it is."― Andre Agassi "What we have to get clear to kids is that when you offer your stillness and open yourself to the experience of music, it pays you back more than you give."― David Ogden Stiers
