Allen Ginsberg
The closet door is open for me, where I left it, since I left it open, it has graciously stayed open.
Allen Ginsberg
You are what you think about all day.
Allen Ginsberg
None of us understand what we're doing, but we do beautiful things anyway.
Allen Ginsberg
You can't photograph everything.
