Charles Bukowski Quotes

The nights you fight best arewhen all the weapons are pointed at you, when all the voices hurl their insultswhile the dream is being strangled. The nights you fight best arewhen reason gets kicked in the gut, when the chariots of gloom encircle you. The nights you fight best arewhen the laughter of fools fills the air, when the kiss of death is mistaken for love. The nights you fight best arewhen the game is fixed, when the crowd screams for your blood. The nights you fight best areon a night like thisas you chase a thousand dark rats from your brain, as you rise up against the impossible, as you become a brother to the tender sister of joyand move on regardless.

Charles Bukowski
