Charles Bukowski quote: "I do think that poetry is important though, if you don’t..."
I do think that poetry is important though, if you don’t strive at it, if you don’t fill it full of stars and falseness. Charles Bukowski
For that I must descend into the depths, as you do in the evening when you go below the sea and bring light also to the underworld, you superabundant star! Friedrich Nietzsche
Finnick?" I say, "Maybe some pants?"He looks down at his legs as if noticing his outfit for the first time. Then he whips off his hospital gown leaving him in just his underwear. "Why? Do you find this", he strikes a ridiculously provocative pose, "distracting? Suzanne Collins
...and it occurred to me, with the forcefulness of a thought experienced in 360 degrees, that that's really what history mostly is: masses of people doing ordinary things. Bill Bryson
