Poetry is what happens when nothing else can. - Charles Bukowski

"To do a dull thing with style-now that's what I call art."

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

"there are worse thingsthan being alonebut it often takesdecades to realize thisand most often when you doit's too lateand there's nothing worsethan too late"

"and our few good times will be rare because we have the critical senseand are not easy to fool with laughter"

"Real loneliness is not necessarily limited to when you are alone."
