Charles Bukowski
I only want sweet peace and kindliness when I awaken -- but there's always some finger pointing, telling me some terrible deed I committed during the night. It seems I make a lot of mistakes and it seems that I am not allowed any.
Charles Bukowski
You don't go on probably when love and guns are in hand.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
