“Some people never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must lead.”
― Charles Bukowski

“The nights you fight best are
when all the weapons are pointed at you,
when all the voices hurl their insults
while the dream is being strangled.

The nights you fight best are
when reason gets kicked in the gut,
when the chariots of gloom encircle you.

The nights you fight best are
when the laughter of fools fills the air,
when the kiss of death is mistaken for love.

The nights you fight best are
when the game is fixed,
when the crowd screams for your blood.

The nights you fight best are
on a night like this
as you chase a thousand dark rats from your brain,
as you rise up against the impossible,
as you become a brother to the tender sister of joy

and move on

regardless.”
― Charles Bukowski

“Can you remember who you were, before the world told you who you should be?”
― Danielle LaPorte

“There is a space in the heart that will never be filled and we will wait and wait in that space.”
― Charles Bukowski, You Get So Alone at Times That it Just Makes Sense
