Allen GinsbergWe're all golden sunflowers inside.
About This Quote
A sunflower has pretty yellow petals to the outside, but inside is a completely different shade of color. The sunflower is, in fact, a variety of flower that has the outside appearance of a perfectly golden yellow. When you hold a sunflower, you feel its velvety texture, and the way it smells. But if you split it open to reveal its petals, you'll see something very different...It's all pink inside! That's what this saying means.
You are lovely on the outside, but inside are shadows that make you look different from other people. Not only that, each person has their own unique strengths and weaknesses. And these differ from one person to another.
