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)

    she in the kitchen
    aproned young and lovely wanting my baby
    and so happy about me she burns the roast beef
    and comes crying to me and I get up from my big papa chair
    saying Christmas teeth! Radiant brains! Apple deaf!
    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)
