We live like squatters, not as if we owned the property.
Thomas A. EdisonDo unto othersโฆโ is a good rule of thumb. I live by that. Forgiveness is probably the greatest virtue there is. But thatโs exactly what it is - a virtue. Not just a Christian virtue. No one owns being good. Iโm good. I just donโt believe Iโll be rewarded for it in heaven. My reward is here and now. Itโs knowing that I try to do the right thing. That I lived a good life. And thatโs where spirituality really lost its way. When it became a stick to beat people with. โDo this or youโll burn in hell.โ You wonโt burn in hell. But be nice anyway.

Charles BukowskiIt's amused me the writers who have assumed that I was referring to a hateful quality of society in the '80s. I think that degree of hatefulness is pretty much steady throughout human history. To me, it's just an amusing sense of self-deprecation - my hateful years. It was entirely personal; it was my personal, hateful years, when I most overtly tried to lash out at society. As I used to say: it was an attempt to burn society down to the ground.

I try not to burn up my world with rage. It is so hard.

A man who truly recognizes and knows God can see God in all things. Truth can only be seen by those with truth in them.

Does it seem โฆ but a miracle โฆ that the thoughts of living men โฆ should burn over the cold, green bones of men and women, whose hearts, once as warm as ours, burst as the eternal gulfs closed and roared over them centuries ago?
Edward Everett
