    Charles Bukowski
    “And it seems people should not build houses anymore
    it seems people should stop working and sit in small rooms on second floors
    under electric lights
    without shades;
    it seems there is a lot to forget
    and a lot not to do
    and in drugstores, markets, bars,
    the people are tired, they do not want to move, and I stand there at night
    and look through this house and the house does not want to be built”
    ― Charles Bukowski, Love Is a Dog from Hell

    Charles Bukowski
    “girls
    please give your
    bodies and your
    lives
    to
    the young men
    who
    deserve them

    besides
    there is
    no way
    I would welcome
    the
    intolerable
    dull
    senseless hell
    you would bring
    me

    and
    I wish you
    luck
    in bed
    and
    out

    but not
    in
    mine

    thank
    you.”

    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
    “the best part was
    pulling down the
    shades
    stuffing the doorbell
    with rags
    putting the phone
    in the
    refrigerator
    and going to bed
    for 3 or 4
    days.
    and the next best
    part
    was
    nobody ever
    missed
    me.”

    Fyodor Dostoevsky
