About this Quote

In this quote, Allen Ginsberg is stressing the value of keeping the belief that it is possible to live a fulfilling and significant life while still being a great person. He compares this belief to a lifebelt, suggesting that it is something we can rely on to keep us afloat in the middle of life's obstacles. Ginsberg challenges the concept that being fully alive requires us to desert our morals or jeopardize our stability. Instead, he motivates us to accept our humanity and strive to be both typical and decent, while likewise living life to the maximum. This quote acts as a pointer that being a good individual and living a dynamic life are not equally exclusive, but rather can coexist harmoniously.
