1952 Quote by Allen Ginsberg

“The Wisdom of Solomon (Carl) They censor words not the things they denote: It would create less of a stir to drop a piece of shit on Grant's tomb than to write it out in white paint. Because people recognize that's what memorials are for–old bums & dogs to shit on.” quote by Allen Ginsberg — Download Open image
