       smoking, and there’s nothing more magic or gentle than this, that’s
       why I tend to talk about it, I want to keep the luck going . . .”

       that I would wish upon
       nobody
       but myself,
       amen.”

“Question: If you do drink or use other drugs, is it at least partly to rid yourself of inhibitions and self-consciousness? Does it help to overcome the fear of exposing yourself? Do you think that there is a point of diminishing returns?
Bukowski: Only a jealous non-drinker would ask a question like that.”
