    Donna Tartt

    Donna Tartt

    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, You Get So Alone at Times That it Just Makes Sense
