Charles Bukowski

“I was waiting for something extraordinary to happen but as the years wasted on nothing ever did unless I caused it.”

“How in the hell could a man enjoy being awakened at 8:30 a.m. by an alarm clock, leap out of bed, dress, force-feed, shit, piss, brush teeth and hair, and fight traffic to get to a place where essentially you made lots of money for somebody else and were asked to be grateful for the opportunity to do so?”

“An artist says a hard thing in a simple way.”
