    Charles Bukowski
    “sometimes when everything seems at
    its worst
    when all conspires
    and gnaws
    and the hours, days, weeks
    years
    seem wasted –
    stretched there upon my bed
    in the dark
    looking upward at the ceiling
    i get what many will consider an
    obnoxious thought:
    it’s still nice to be
    Bukowski.”

    Charles Bukowski
    “Ann, I love you. I hope my car starts. I hope the sink isn't plugged up. I'm glad I didn't fuck a groupie. I'm glad I'm not very good at getting into bed with strange females. I'm glad I'm an idiot. I'm glad I don't know anything. I'm glad I haven't been murdered. When I look at my hands and they are still on my wrists, I think to myself, I am lucky.”
