Somebody at one of these places asked me: "What do you do? How do you write, create?" You don't, I told them. You "don't try". That's very important: not to try, either for Cadillacs, creation or immortality. You wait, and if nothing happens, you wait some more. It's like a bug high on the wall. You wait for it to come to you. When it gets close enough you reach out, slap out and kill it. Or if you like it's looks, you make a pet out of it.
Charles Bukowski
... I want the dead to be deadforever. I don't want to be one of them, Except of course you can't be one of them. You can't be one of the deadbecause that which, has no existence can have no community. No community! My heart warms just thinking about it--blackness, aloneness, silence, peace, and all of it only a heartbeat away.[ The Sunset Limited - 2011 ]
