“I have learned that if you must leave a place that you have lived in and loved and where all your yesterdays are buried deep, leave it any way except a slow way, leave it the fastest way you can. Never turn back and never believe that an hour you remember is a better hour because it is dead. Passed years seem safe ones, vanquished ones, while the future lives in a cloud, formidable from a distance.”

- Beryl Markham, West with the Night

Some day, all this will have to be developed, carefully printed, fixed.”

“[…] there are from five to ten times more accepted words in the English language than in French […]. In French, the boundaries between what is acceptable and what is not are clearly defined and enforced by the Académie and the government. In English, there is no body that rules out words.”

“

If you’re going to try, go all the
way.
otherwise, don’t even start.
if you’re going to try, go all the
way.
this could mean losing girlfriends,
wives, relatives, jobs and
maybe your mind.

go all the way.
it could mean not eating for 3 or 4 days.
it could mean freezing on a
park bench.
it could mean jail,
it could mean derision,
mockery,
isolation.
isolation is the gift,
all the others are a test of your
endurance, of
how much you really want to
do it.
and you’ll do it
despite rejection and the worst odds
and it will be better than
anything else
you can imagine.

if you’re going to try,
go all the way.
there is no other feeling like
that.
you will be alone with the gods
and the nights will flame with
fire.

do it, do it, do it.
do it.

all the way
all the way.

you will ride life straight to
perfect laughter, its
the only good fight
there is.

”

- Roll the Dice, Charles Bukowski

Le khôl, c’était l’obscurité, le déclin et le drame étalés en plein visage. Le reflet d’une âme noircie, une armure contre les Statistiques et leur normalité accablante. Effacé. Evaporé avec la certitude que le noir appartenait aux marginaux, aux désillusionnés, aux fêlés et aux rêveurs. Le noir…

St. Patrick's Day: Stop Using Fake Holidays as an Excuse to Get Drunk(via @Jezebel):

This isn’t to pick on St. Patrick’s Day, per se, because America has plenty of imported, quasi-holidays whose only purpose seems to be to sell as much booze to as many reluctant revelers as possible.
