Charles Bukowski Quotes

There is nothing that teaches you more than regrouping after failure and moving on. Yet most people are stricken with fear. They fear failure so much that they fail.

In other words, loneliness is something I’ve never been bothered with because I’ve always had this terrible itch for solitude Picture Quote #1
