الشاعر 'فرانك أوهارا' قال: "إذا لم تحتاج الى الشعر فأنت قاسي القلب" وقال أيضا أنه عندما كان لا يريد مواصلة الحياة فكرة أنه لن يستطيع كتابة القصائد أخرى أوقفته.
The poet Frank O'Hara said, "If you don't need poetry, bully for you," but he also said when he didn't want to be alive anymore, the thought that he wouldn't write any more poems had stopped him.
