“Christmas poem to a man in jail

hello Bill Abbott:
I appreciate your passing around my books in
jail there, my poems and stories.
if I can lighten the load for some of those guys with
my books, fine.
but literature, you know, is difficult for the
average man to assimilate (and for the unaverage man too);
I don't like most poetry, for example,
so I write mine the way I like to read it.”
― Charles Bukowski, What Matters Most is How Well You Walk Through the Fire

“I'm a very ordinary human being; I just happen to like reading books.”
― Haruki Murakami, 1Q84

“The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence.”
― Charles Bukowski

“That which you believe becomes your world.”
― Richard Matheson, What Dreams May Come
