"My own experience is that a certain kind of genius among students is best brought out in bed"
- Allen Ginsberg
About this Quote
In this quote, Allen Ginsberg is recommending that there is a certain kind of sparkle or talent that can only be completely expressed or realized in the intimate setting of a bed. This could be analyzed in an actual sense, as in the act of physical intimacy can draw out a much deeper level of emotional and innovative expression in individuals. However, it might also be seen as a metaphor for a safe and comfortable space where one's true self can be revealed and their talents can grow. Ginsberg's use of the word "genius" indicates a high level of intelligence or imagination, and by linking it to the intimate setting of a bed, he is highlighting the value of vulnerability and rely on opening one's complete capacity.
