“I am a camera with its shutter open, quite passive, recording, not thinking. Recording the man shaving at the window opposite and the woman in the kimono washing her hair. Some day, all this will have to be developed, carefully printed, fixed.”
― Christopher Isherwood, Goodbye to Berlin

“there is a loneliness in this world so great that you can see it in the slow movement of the hands of a clock”
― Charles Bukowski, Love Is a Dog from Hell

“Дадох си сметка, за пръв път с тази яснота (яснотата на януарския въздух), че онова, което остава не са извънредните моменти, не са събитията, а тъкмо нищонеслучващото се. Време, освободено от претенцията за изключителност. Спомени за следобеди, в които нищо не се е случило. Нищо, освен живота, в цялата му пълнота.”
― Georgi Gospodinov, Физика на тъгата

“Trapped

don't undress my love
you might find a mannequin:
don't undress the mannequin
you might find
my love.
she's long ago
forgotten me.
she's trying on a new
hat
and looks more the
coquette
than ever.

she is a
child
and a mannequin
and death.
I can't hate
that.
she didn't do
anything
unusual.
I only wanted her
to.”
― Charles Bukowski, Love Is a Dog from Hell
