But then if you lied to a man about his talent just because he was sitting across from you, that was the most unforgivable lie of them all, because that was telling him to go on, to continue which was the worst way for a man without real talent to waste his life, finally. But many people did just that, friends and relatives mostly.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
Sometimes you just have to pee in the sink.
Charles Bukowski
Dying in a a war never stopped wars from happening.

I wanted the whole world or nothing.
