Your writing, she said to me, it's so raw. It's like a sledgehammer, and yet it has humor and tenderness. . . .
Charles Bukowski
and I laugh, I can still laugh, who can't laugh when the whole thing is so ridiculous that only the insane, the clowns, the half-wits, the cheaters, the whores, the horseplayers, the bankrobbers, the poets ... are interesting?
Charles Bukowski
What's genius? I don't know but I do know that the difference between a madman and a professional is that a pro does as well as he can within what he has set out to do and a madman does exceptionally well at what he can't help doing.
Charles Bukowski
Maybe when I get in the grave, things will be beautiful.
