Allen Ginsberg

Allen Ginsberg
The suffering itself is not so bad it's the resentment against suffering that is the real pain.
Allen Ginsberg
You say what you want to say when you don't care who's listening. If you're grasping to get your own voice, you're making a strained attempt to talk, so it's a matter of just listening to yourself as you sound when you're talking about something that's intensely important to you.
Allen Ginsberg
we're all golden sunflowers inside.
Allen Ginsberg
