Don't ever write a novel unless it hurts like a hot turd coming out.

Charles Bukowski
I had decided against religion a couple of years back. If it were true, it made fools out of people, or it drew fools. And if it weren't true, the fools were all the more foolish. What I need is a good doctor, I thought. You either lived or died.
Charles Bukowski
A day of minor profit or prophet led to a night of drunkenness.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
