Quote by Allen Ginsberg
I really would like to stop working forever—never work again

I really would like to stop working forever—never work again, never do anything like the kind of work I’m doing now—and do nothing but write poetry and have leisure to spend the day outdoors and go to museums and see friends…. Just a literary and quiet city-hermit existence. – Allen Ginsberg

jiggling your knees blankly in the rain.
When it snows in your nose
you catch cold in your brain. – Allen Ginsberg
