There is nothing that teaches you more than regrouping after failure and moving on.
Charles BukowskiIn a capitalistic society the losers slaved for the winners and you have to have more losers than winners.

Charles BukowskiI've never been lonely. I've been in a room... I've felt suicidal, I've been depressed. I've felt awful ... awful beyond all , but I never felt that one other person could enter that room and cure what was bothering me...or that any number of people could enter that room. In other words, loneliness is something I've never been bothered with because I've always had this terrible itch for solitude.
