I've found out why men sign their names to their works- not that they created them but more than the others did not.
Charles Bukowski

Once in a dream I saw a snake swallowing its own tail, it swallowed and swallowed until it got halfway round, and there it stopped and there it stayed, it was stuffed with its own self. Some fix, that. We only have ourselves to go on, and it's enough.
Charles Bukowski
Image
I don’t understand people, never will. It looks like I got to travel pretty much alone.

There's nothing unusual about love.

That's the problem with drinking, I thought, as I poured myself a drink. If something bad happens you drink in an attempt to forget if something good happens you drink in order to celebrate and if nothing happens you drink to make something happen.
