“He stretches his legs out underneath the table and checks Facebook on his phone. It tells him things he doesn’t need to know about people he hasn’t seen in years. He absorbs their aggressively worded opinions and quasi-political hate-speak. He sees a photograph of his ex-girlfriend with her new boyfriend smiling at a picnic and he realises, with a strange cascade of emptiness, that she is pregnant and wearing an engagement ring. The comments are jubilant. He reads every word before he forces himself to put his phone down. A loneliness descends. He feels its familiar talons grabbing him violently out of his chair and hanging him, swinging, up by the ceiling. Pete”
Kate Tempest, The Bricks that Built the Houses

“If you've been an arsehole today, acknowledge it.
Try not to be one tomorrow.”
Kate Tempest, Hold Your Own

Charles Bukowski
“Generally, I decided, it was better to wait, if you had any feeling for the individual. If you hated her right off, it was better to fuck her right off; if you didn't, it was better to wait, then fuck her and hate her later on.”
Charles Bukowski, Women

Charles Bukowski
“I was glad I wasn't in love, that I wasn't happy with the world. I like being at odds with everything. People in love often become edgy, dangerous. They lose their sense of perspective. They lose their sense of humor. They become nervous, psychotic bores. They even become killers.”
Charles Bukowski, Women

John Fante
“Nor did he give a damn for the world either, or the universe, or heaven or hell. But he liked women.”
John Fante, The Brotherhood of the Grape
