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)

    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 (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)
