[Stokely Carmichael said,] “Mr. Ginsberg, I don’t know much about the hippie movement, but I would like to beg to differ with you. I think the reason most of them are hippies today is because they are confused little kids who have run away from their home and who will return to their culture within a year or two.”
Ginsberg answered, “There’s no culture to return to." Carmichael replied indignantly "Before I find my individual self, I must find my group culture."
