“the only thing to do is simply continue
is that simple
yes, it is simple because it is the only thing to do
can you do it
yes, you can because it is the only thing to do”
― Frank O'Hara, Lunch Poems

“I seem to be defying fate, or am I avoiding it?”
― Frank O'Hara, Lunch Poems

I think of all the things I’ve been thinking of
I feel insane”

“In retrospect, the saddest moment of one’s life would seem to be that in which one first became aware that sensibility must be protected by intelligence if it is to survive living. It is that realization that puts the bloodshed into adolescence. And the lack of that realization makes the rest of life a bloodshed.”
― Frank O'Hara, Early Writing
