There are no good wars or bad wars. The only thing bad about a war is to lose it. All wars have been fought for a so-called good Cause on both sides. But only the victor's Cause becomes history's Noble Cause. It's not a matter of who is right or who is wrong, it's a matter of who has the best generals and the better army!
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
I took no pride in my solitude but I was dependent on it. The darkness of the room was like sunlight to me.
