“All the misfits of the world--the too fat and too lean, the too tall and the too short, the jerk, the drip, the half-wit and the spastic, the harelip and the gimp.

― Lawrence Lipton, The Holy Barbarians

“I'm too careless. I don't put out enough effort. I'm tired.”
― Charles Bukowski, South of No North

“there's no release, just gurus and self- appointed gods and hucksters. the more people say, the less there is to say.”
