The masses are always wrong...Wisdom is doing everything the crowd does not do. All you do is reverse the totality of their learning and you have the heaven they're looking for.
Charles Bukowski
from the beginning, through the middle years and up to the end: too bad, too bad, too bad.

Humanity, you never had it to begin with.
Charles Bukowski
Careful poetry and careful people live only long enough to die safely.

if it doesn't come bursting out of you in spite of everything, don't do it. unless it comes unasked out of your heart and your mind and your mouth and your gut, don't do it.
