Quote by Allen Ginsberg

“I believe that we are put here in human form to decipher the hieroglyphs of love and suffering. And, there is no degree of love or intensity of feeling that does not bring with it the possibility of a crippling hurt. But, it is a duty to take that risk and love without reserve or defense.”

These are sick values, but they’re disseminated through corporate media in almost every program you watch.”
