take a writer away from his typewriterand all you have lefti... - Charles Bukowski

"Sometimes things are just what they seem to be and that's all there is to it."

"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."

"unless the sun inside you is burning your gut, don't do it"

"People are strange: They are constantly angered by trivial things, but on a major matter like totally wasting their lives, they hardly seem to notice."
