Oh, I donโt mean youโre handsome, not the way people think of handsome. Your face seems kind. But your eyes - theyโre beautiful. Theyโre wild, crazy, like some animal peering out of a forest on fire.
Charles BukowskiDon't fight your demons. Your demons are here to teach you lessons. Sit down with your demons and have a drink and a chat and learn their names and talk about the burns on their fingers and scratches on their ankles. Some of them are very nice.
Charles BukowskiHuman relationships didn't work anyhow. Only the first two weeks had any zing, then the participants lost their interest. Masks dropped away and real people began to appear: cranks, imbeciles, the demented, the vengeful, sadists, killers. Modern society had created its own kind and they feasted on each other. It was a duel to the death--in a cesspool.
