We do not abandon ship. I say, as corny as it may sound, through the strength and spirit and fire and dare and gamble of a few men in a few ways we can save the carcass of humanity from drowning. No light goes out until it goes out. Let's fight as men, not rats. Period. No further addition.
Charles Bukowski
Love is a Dog from Hell.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
If you're losing your soul and you know it, then you've still got a soul left to lose.
Charles Bukowski
