The Man and Its Squirrel, a Sunday In The Park

“Animals never worry about Heaven or Hell. Neither do I. maybe that's why we get along”
― Charles Bukowski, The Last Night of the Earth Poems

“The free soul is rare, but you know it when you see it - basically because you feel good, very good, when you are near or with them.”
― Charles Bukowski, Tales of Ordinary Madness

“That's the problem with drinking, I thought, as I poured myself a drink. If something bad happens you drink in an attempt to forget; if something good happens you drink in order to celebrate; and if nothing happens you drink to make something happen.”
― Charles Bukowski, Women

“The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence.”

“An intellectual says a simple thing in a hard way.

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

“there are worse things
than being alone
but it often takes
decades to realize this
and most often when you do
it's too late
and there's nothing worse
than too late”

“We're all going to die, all of us, what a circus!

That alone should make us love each other but it doesn't.

We are terrorized and flattened by trivialities, we are eaten up by nothing.”
― Charles Bukowski

Crowd

“It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson - Essays, Series I (Self-Reliance)
