Charles Bukowskithere is a place in the heart that will never be filled a space and even during the best moments and the greatest times times we will know it we will know it more than ever there is a place in the heart that will never be filled and we will wait and wait in that space.
Charles BukowskiThis is very important -- to take leisure time. Pace is the essence. Without stopping entirely and doing nothing at all for great periods, you're gonna lose everything...just to do nothing at all, very, very important. And how many people do this in modern society? Very few. That's why they're all totally mad, frustrated, angry and hateful.
Charles BukowskiThis is a world where everybodyโs gotta do something. Ya know, somebody laid down this rule that everybodyโs gotta do something, they gotta be something. You know, a dentist, a glider pilot, a narc, a janitor, a preacher, all that . . . Sometimes I just get tired of thinking of all the things that I donโt wanna do. All the things that I donโt wanna be. Places I donโt wanna go, like India, like getting my teeth cleaned. Save the whale, all that, I donโt understand that . . .
