Charles Bukowski
690 citations

Everything was a trap: women, drugs, whiskey, wine, scotch, beer - even beer - cigars, and cigarettes. Traps: Work or no work. Traps: Artistry or no artistry; everything sucked you into some spiderweb. I disdained the use of the needle for the same reason that I disdained some so-called beautiful women - the price was far beyond the measure of the worth. I didn't want to hustle that hard. ✨ Charles Bukowski (2008). Charles Bukowski: portions from a wine-stained notebook : uncollected stories and essays, 1944-1990, City Lights Publishers
