I would need more time to go through some books to remember some great passages.
Here are some Charles Bukowski quotes I like:
"Baby," I said. "I'm a genius but nobody knows it but me."
It was true that I didn't have much ambition, but there ought to be a place for people without ambition, I mean a better place than the one usually reserved. How in the hell could a man enjoy being awakened at 6:30 a.m. by an alarm clock, leap out of bed, dress, force-feed, shit, piss, brush teeth and hair, and fight traffic to get to a place where essentially you made lots of money for somebody else and were asked to be grateful for the opportunity to do so?
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.
