if you think they didn't go crazy in tiny rooms just like you're doing now without women without food without hope then you're not ready.
Charles BukowskiIโve had so many knives stuck into me, when they hand me a flower I canโt quite make out what it is. It takes time.
Charles BukowskiI couldn't get myself to read the want ads. The thought of sitting in front of a man behind a desk and telling him that I wanted a job, that I was qualified for a job, was too much for me.

When you drank the world was still out there, but for the moment it didn't have you by the throat.
