“صنِّفوا الموتَ فكاهةً / فكاهةً .. صنِّفوا العبثَ فكاهةً / فكاهةً .. صنِّفوا المواثيقَ فكاهةً / فكاهةً..
صنِّفوا رسومَ الليلِ على رخام الرسوم، والمجاهلَ، والرقمَ الخالِدَ فكاهةً /فكاهةً..
صنِّفوا المعلومَ فكاهةً/ فكاهةً.. صنِّفوا الخسارةَ فكاهةً / فكاهةً..
صنِّفوا أثرَ المرئيِّ في وَحْلِ اللامرئيِّ فكاهةً / فكاهةً ..”

Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”

“For those who believe in God, most of the big questions are answered. But for those of us who can't readily accept the God formula, the big answers don't remain stone-written. We adjust to new conditions and discoveries. We are pliable. Love need not be a command nor faith a dictum. I am my own god. We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state, and our educational system. We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.”
― Charles Bukowski

“I've never been lonely. I've been in a room -- I've felt suicidal. I've been depressed. I've felt awful -- awful beyond all -- but I never felt that one other person could enter that room and cure what was bothering me...or that any number of people could enter that room. In other words, loneliness is something I've never been bothered with because I've always had this terrible itch for solitude. It's being at a party, or at a stadium full of people cheering for something, that I might feel loneliness. I'll quote Ibsen, "The strongest men are the most alone." I've never thought, "Well, some beautiful blonde will come in here and give me a fuck-job, rub my balls, and I'll feel good." No, that won't help. You know the typical crowd, "Wow, it's Friday night, what are you going to do? Just sit there?" Well, yeah. Because there's nothing out there. It's stupidity. Stupid people mingling with stupid people. Let them stupidify themselves. I've never been bothered with the need to rush out into the night. I hid in bars, because I didn't want to hide in factories. That's all. Sorry for all the millions, but I've never been lonely. I like myself. I'm the best form of entertainment I have. Let's drink more wine!”
― Charles Bukowski

“كُنْ دائمًا ؛
كُنْ كُلَّما ...
كُنْ حينما ...
كُنْ حيْثُما ...
كُنْ أيَّ وقتٍ .. أيَّ شيءٍ ،
كُنْ شَغُوفًا ؛ رائبَ الأحلامِ ،
كُنِّي لحظةَ الهوسِ الجحيمِ ،
و كُنْ لأبصرَنا معًا !”

“يَا غُرَّةَ المَعْنَى ؛ حَمَلْتُكَ آيَةً
أَنَّى أَسِرْ يَسْأَلْ مُرِيبٌ : مَنْ مَعَكْ .. ؟!

فَأَقُولُ فِي جَيْبِي يُقِيمُ صَلاَتَهُ
وَ يَثُورُ شَيْطَانُ اللِّحَى كَيْ يَمْنَعَكْ”

“لَمْ يَعُدْ فِي الشِّعْرِ مُتَّسَعٌ لِلَيْلَى وَ البِشَارَةِ وَ البُكَاءِ عَلَى الطُّلُولْ .
فلِمَنْ نَقُولُ :
(عِمِي صَبَاحًا دَارَ عَبْلَةَ وَ اِسْلَمِي) .. ؟!

نِصْفُ شَاعِرٍ ، نِصْفُ رَجُلٍ ...
مَا أَتْعَسَهُمُ .. !!”
― سعد الياسري, منسأتي

“أَشُكُّ بِأَنَّنِي فَرْدٌ ،
أَنَا أَكْثَرْ .
فَهَذَا العُشْبُ يُشْبِهُنِي ،
وَ تِلْكَ النَّجْمَةُ الجَذْلَى ،
وَ نَهْدُ صَغِيرَتِي المَدْهُونُ بِالْدِّفْلَى ،
وَ وَجْهُ اللهِ إِذْ أَسْفَرْ ..
أَنَا أَكْثَرْ .”
