" I WAS DRAWN TO ALL THE WRONG THINGS : I LIKED TO DRINK, I WAS LAZY, I DIDN'T HAVE A GOD, POLITICS, IDEAS, IDEALS. I WAS SETTLED INTO NOTHINGNESS; A KIND OF NON-BEING, AND I ACCECEPTED IT. IT DIDN'T MAKE FOR AN INTERESTING PERSON. I DIDN'T WANT TO BE INTERESTING, IT WAS TOO HARD. WHAT I REALLY WANTED WAS ONLY A SOFT, HAZY SPACE TO LIVE IN, AND TO BE LEFT ALONE. ON THE OTHER HAND, WHEN I GOT DRUNK I SCREAMED, WENT CRAZY, GOT ALL OUT OF HAND. ONE KIND OF BEHAVIOR DIDN'T FIT THE OTHER. I DIDN'T CARE."
- CHARLES BUKOWSKI, "WOMEN"
