Raymond Carver
“Happiness. It comes on unexpectedly. And goes beyond, really, any early morning talk about it.”
Raymond Carver, All of Us: The Collected Poems

Joseph Conrad
“But about feelings people really know nothing. We talk with indignation or enthusiasm; we talk about oppression, cruelty, crime, devotion, self-sacrifice, virtue, and we know nothing real beyond these words.”
Joseph Conrad, An Outpost of Progress

Fyodor Dostoevsky
“Man is stupid, you know, phenomenally stupid; or rather he is not at all stupid, but he is so ungrateful that you could not find another like him in all creation. I, for instance, would not be in the least surprised if all of a sudden, A PROPOS of nothing, in the midst of general prosperity a gentleman with an ignoble, or rather with a reactionary and ironical, countenance were to arise and, putting his arms akimbo, say to us all: "I say, gentleman, hadn't we better kick over the whole show and scatter rationalism to the winds, simply to send these logarithms to the devil, and to enable us to live once more at our own sweet foolish will!" That again would not matter, but what is annoying is that he would be sure to find followers--such is the nature of man. And”
Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Notes from the Underground

Chuck Palahniuk
“do not write to be liked. Write to be remembered.”
Chuck Palahniuk, Consider This: Moments in My Writing Life After Which Everything Was Different

Charles Bukowski
“I knew that I was dying.
Something in me said,
Go ahead, die, sleep, become as them, accept.
Then something else in me said, no,
save the tiniest bit.
It needn't be much, just a spark.
A spark can set a whole forest on fire.
Just a spark.
Save it.”
Charles Bukowski, The Last Night of the Earth Poems

This is a group for fans of the dirty old man. The words he wrote kept him from total madness.
