I will put on my shoes and shirt and get out of here - it'll be better for all of us.
Charles Bukowski

if you think they didn't go crazy in tiny rooms just like you're doing now without women without food without hope then you're not ready.

A love like that was a serious illness, an illness from which you never entirely recover.
Charles Bukowski
Image
your letters got sadder. your lovers betrayed you. kid, I wrote back, all lovers betray. it didn't help. you said you had a crying bench and it was by a bridge and the bridge was over the river and you sat on the crying bench every night and wept for the lovers who had hurt and forgotten you.

The empty, the angry, the lonely, the tricked, we are all museums of fear.
Charles Bukowski
Image
There is nothing that teaches you more than regrouping after failure and moving on. Yet most people are stricken with fear. They fear failure so much that they fail. They are too conditioned, too used to being told what to do. It begins with the family, runs through school and goes into the business world.
