Charles Bukowski
I have gotten so used to melancholia that I greet it like an old friend.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
The empty, the angry, the lonely, the tricked, we are all museums of fear.
Charles Bukowski
Find what you love and let it kill you. For all things will kill you, both slowly and fastly, but it’s much better to be killed by a lover.
Charles Bukowski
