Gregory Corso Quotes
"They, that unnamed "they," they've knocked me down but I got up. I always get up-and I swear when I went down quite often I took the fall; nothing moves a mountain but itself. They, I've long ago named them me."-Gregory Corso
"What are fish? Animalized water."-Gregory Corso
"when Mrs Kindhead comes to collect for the Community Chest
grab her and tell her There are unfavorable omens in the sky!
And when the mayor comes to get my vote tell him
When are you going to stop people killing whales!"-Gregory Corso
Three writers does not a generation make."
- Gregory Corso
"I'm Peter Orlovsky", said Peter Orlovsky. "I'm very fine and happy and crazy as a wild flower."
"I'm Allen Ginsberg", said Allen Ginsberg, "and I'm crazy like a daisy."
"I'm Gregory Corso", said Gregory Corso, "and I'm not crazy at all."
Would they like to make any comment? "Yes," said Corso. "Fried shoes."
