Fear of Dreaming Quotes

“I'll Die For Your Sins If You Live For mine.

”
― Jim Carroll, Fear of Dreaming: The Selected Poems

“I sleep on a tar roof
scream my songs
into lazy floods of stars…
a white powder paddles through blood and heart
and the returns
pure and easy…
This city is on my side.”
― Jim Carroll, Fear of Dreaming: The Selected Poems

“I wait on the origin of night's sounds waking. I know
that here only the blind man sings, even in rain

The notes of drenched violins rise like warped mirrors'
and the last clouds part slowly, like a cracked wheel.”
― Jim Carroll, Fear of Dreaming: The Selected Poems
