“For those who believe in God, most of the big questions are answered. But for those of us who can't readily accept the God formula, the big answers don't remain stone-written.

We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.”
― Charles Bukowski

“And that's the thing about people who mean everything they say. They think everyone else does too.”
