Famous quotes by gregory corso:

    O how terrible it must be for a young man—
    seated before a family and the family thinking
    We never saw him before! He wants our Mary Lou!
    After tea and homemade cookies they ask What do you do for a living
    Gregory Corso (b. 1930)

    what if I’m 60 years old and not married,
    all alone in a furnished room with pee stains on my underwear
    and everybody else is married!
    Gregory Corso (b. 1930)

    O God, and the wedding! All her family and her friends
    and only a handful of mine all scroungy and bearded
    just wait to get at the drinks and food—
    Gregory Corso (b. 1930)

    Should I get married? Should I be good?
    Astound the girl next door with my velvet suit and faustus hood?
    Gregory Corso (b. 1930)
