•Charles Bukowski - pulp

“It wasn’t my day. My week. My month. My year. My life. God damn it.”

“‘But he said he was going to kill you, didn’t you hear him?’ ‘He probably didn’t mean it.’

“I mean, say that you figure that everything is senseless, then it can't be quite senseless because you are aware that it's senseless and your awareness of senselessness almost gives it sense. You know what I mean?”

•Dostojevskij-Crime and punishment

“Man has it all in his hands, and it all slips through his fingers from sheer cowardice.”

“Do you understand, sir, do you understand what it means when you have absolutely nowhere to turn?"
