Charles Bukowski
“yes, Wagner and the storm intermix with the wine as nights like this run up my wrists and up into my head and back down into the gut”
Charles Bukowski, You Get So Alone At Times That It Just Makes Sense

Frédéric Chopin
“I wish I could throw off the thoughts which poison my happiness, and yet I take a kind of pleasure in indulging them.”
Frédéric Chopin

Anaïs Nin
“I feel that from the very beginning life played a terrible conjurer’s trick on me. I lost faith in it. It seems to me that every moment now it is playing tricks on me. So that when I hear love I am not sure it is love, and when I hear gaiety I am not sure it is gaiety, and when I have eaten and loved and I am all warm from wine, I am not sure it is either love or food or wine, but a strange trick being played on me, an illusion, slippery and baffling and malicious, and a magician hangs behind me watching the ecstasy I feel at the things which happen so that I know deep down it is all fluid and escaping and may vanish at any moment. Don’t forget to write me a letter and tell me I was here, and I saw you, and loved you, and ate with you. It is all so evanescent and I love it so much, I love it as you love the change in the days.”
Anaïs Nin, The Diary of Anaïs Nin, Vol. 2: 1934-1939

Charles Bukowski
“and even the trees we walked
under
seemed
less than
trees
and more like everything
else.”
Charles Bukowski, You Get So Alone at Times That it Just Makes Sense

Daniel Handler
“You only love once and and then maybe not again. Not on a day like this. The rain, the rain, the rain.”
Daniel Handler, Adverbs
