and our few good times will be rare because we have the crit... - Charles Bukowski

"take a writer away from his typewriterand all you have leftisthe sicknesswhich started himtypingin thebeginning"

"Some people never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must lead."

"nothing can save you except writing. it keeps the walls from failing."

"there is a place in the heart thatwill never be filleda spaceand even during thebest momentsandthe greatest timestimeswe will know itwe will know itmore thaneverthere is a place in the heart thatwill never be filledandwe will waitandwaitin that space."

"We're all going to die, all of us, what a circus! That alone should make us love each other but it doesn't. We are terrorized and flattened by trivialities, we are eaten up by nothing."
