“All that shit they
were fed about democracy and opportunity was just to keep them from burning
down the palace.” - Charles Bukowski
“The problem was you
had to keep choosing between one evil or another, and no matter what you chose,
they sliced a little bit more off you, until there was nothing left. At the age
of 25 most people were finished. A whole god-damned nation of assholes driving automobiles, eating,
having babies, doing everything in the worst way possible, like voting for the
presidential candidates who reminded them most of themselves. I had no
interests. I had no interest in anything. I had no idea how I was going to
escape. At least the others had some taste for life. They seemed to understand
something that I didn't understand. Maybe I was lacking. It was possible. I
often felt inferior. I just wanted to get away from them. But there was no
place to go.” - Charles Bukowski
