Quotes:
  • "My own experience is that a certain kind of genius among students is best brought out in bed."
  • "I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked."
  • "I have a new method of poetry. All you got to do is look over your notebooks... or lay down on a couch, and think of anything that comes into your head, especially the miseries. Then arrange in lines of two, three or four words each, don't bother about sentences, in sections of two, three or four lines each."
