    Hermann Hesse

    Bob Marley
    “You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She's not perfect—you aren't either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break—her heart. So don't hurt her, don't change her, don't analyze and don't expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she's not there.”
    Bob Marley

    Vladimir Nabokov
    “Perhaps what matters is not the human pain or joy at all but, rather, the play of shadow and light on a live body, the harmony of trifles assembled...in a unique and inimitable way.”
    Vladimir Nabokov

  • #5
    Vladimir Nabokov
    “It is easy for him and me to decipher now a past destiny; but a destiny in the making is, believe me, not one of those honest mystery stories where all you have to do is keep an eye on the clues.”
    Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita

  • #6
    Charles Bukowski
    “For those who believe in God, most of the big questions are answered. But for those of us who can't readily accept the God formula, the big answers don't remain stone-written. We adjust to new conditions and discoveries. We are pliable. Love need not be a command nor faith a dictum. I am my own god. We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state, and our educational system. We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.”
    Charles Bukowski

  • #7
    Jack Kerouac
    “I promise I shall never give up, and that I'll die yelling and laughing, and that until then I'll rush around this world I insist is holy and pull at everyone's lapel and make them confess to me and to all.”
    Jack Kerouac

    Charles Bukowski
    “and you invented me
    and I invented you
    and that's why we don't
    get along
    on this bed
    any longer.
    you were the world's
    greatest invention
    until you
    flushed me
    away.

    now it's your turn
    to wait for the touch
    of the handle.
    somebody will do it
    to you,
    bitch,
    and if they don't
    you will -
    mixed with your own
    green or yellow or white
    or blue
    or lavender
    goodbye.”
    Charles Bukowski, Love Is a Dog from Hell

  • #9
    Friedrich Nietzsche
    “To learn to see- to accustom the eye to calmness, to patience, and to allow things to come up to it; to defer judgment, and to acquire the habit of approaching and grasping an individual case from all sides. This is the first preparatory schooling of intellectuality. One must not respond immediately to a stimulus; one must acquire a command of the obstructing and isolating instincts.”
    Friedrich Nietzsche, Twilight of the Idols

    Tom Robbins
    “Love easily confuses us because it is always in flux between illusion and substance, between memory and wish, between contentment and need.”
    Tom Robbins, Even Cowgirls Get the Blues

  • #12
    Tom Robbins
    “There's a tendency today to absolve individuals of moral responsibility and treat them as victims of social circumstance. You buy that, you pay with your soul. It's not men who limit women, it's not straights who limit gays, it's not whites who limit blacks. What limits people is lack of character. What limits people is that they don't have the fucking nerve or imagination to star in their own movie, let alone direct it.”
    Tom Robbins

    Tom Robbins
    “People feel tremendous pressure to settle down in some sort of permanent space and fill it up with stuff, but deep inside they resent those structures, and they're scared to death of that stuff because they know it controls them and restricts their movements.”
    Tom Robbins, Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates

    Tom Robbins
    “Unfortunately, little darlings, there is no such thing as a simple love story.The most transitory puppy crush is complex to the extent of lying beyond the far reaches of the brain's understanding.”

    “And it rained a screaming. And it rained a rawness. And it rained a plasma. And it rained a disorder.”
    Tom Robbins, Another Roadside Attraction

    Tom Robbins
    “And it rained a fever. And it rained a silence. And it rained a sacrifice. And it rained a miracle. And it rained sorceries and saturnine eyes of the totem.”
    Tom Robbins, Another Roadside Attraction

    Tom Robbins
    “The most important thing in life is style. That is the style of one s existence the characteristic mode of one s actions is basically ultimately what matters. For if man defines himself by doing then style is doubly definitive because style describes the doing. The point is this happiness is a learned condition. And since it is learned and self generating it does not depend upon external circumstances for its perpetuation. This throws a very ironic light on content. And underscores the primacy of style. It is content or rather the consciousness of content that fills the void. But the mere presence of content is not enough. It is style that gives content the capacity to absorb us to move us it is style that makes us care.”
    Tom Robbins, Another Roadside Attraction

    Charles Bukowski
    “I will remember the kisses
    our lips raw with love
    and how you gave me
    everything you had
    and how I
    offered you what was left of
    me,
    and I will remember your small room
    the feel of you
    the light in the window
    your records
    your books
    our morning coffee
    our noons our nights
    our bodies spilled together
    sleeping
    the tiny flowing currents
    immediate and forever
    your leg my leg
    your arm my arm
    your smile and the warmth
    of you
    who made me laugh
    again.”
    Charles Bukowski

    Charles Bukowski
    “She was desperate and she was choosey
    at the same time and, in a way, beautiful, but she didn't have quite enough going for her to become what
    she imagined herself to be.”
    Charles Bukowski, Factotum

    Charles Bukowski
    “I sit here
    drunk now.
    I am
    a series of
    small victories
    and large defeats
    and I am as
    amazed
    as any other
    that
    I have gotten
    from there to
    here
    without committing murder
    or being
    murdered;
    without
    having ended up in the
    madhouse.

    as I drink alone
    again tonight
    my soul despite all the past
    agony
    thanks all the gods
    who were not
    there
    for me
    then.”
    Charles Bukowski, The People Look Like Flowers at Last

    I will always carry you
    inside
    outside

    on my fingertips
    and at brain edges

    and in centers
    centers
    of what I am of
    what remains.”
    Charles Bukowski, Living on Luck
