We are here to laugh at the odds.

The hangover was brutal but he didn't mind. It told him he had been somewhere else, someplace good.
Charles Bukowski
Image
I see men assassinated around me every day. I walk through rooms of the dead, streets of the dead, cities of the dead men without eyes, men without voices men with manufactured feelings and standard reactions men with newspaper brains, television souls and high school ideas.
Charles Bukowski

That's how it is with books, isn't it: They're not in a hurry. They'll wait for you till you're ready. People empty me. I have to go away to refill.
