I never met another man I'd rather be. And even if that's a delusion, it's a lucky one.
Charles Bukowski
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
Don't ever write a novel unless it hurts like a hot turd coming out.
Charles Bukowski
Let' em learn or let' em die
