Quote of the Day

[monk222]

“I was drawn to all the wrong things: I liked to drink, I was lazy, I didn’t have a god, politics, ideas, ideals. I was settled into nothingness; a kind of non-being, and I accepted it. I didn’t make for an interesting person. I didn’t want to be interesting, it was too hard. What I really wanted was only a soft, hazy space to live in, and to be left alone.”

-- Charles Bukowski

Aside from the booze, I know how that feels. Maybe we all do sometimes. It's kind of like depression, I suppose, except one doesn't really feel bad about it. A kind of empty peace.

Hmm, I waver between desperately wanting to be someone, and desperately wanting to be in that kind of state of nothingness. I don't think either of them are ideal, but the latter is certainly more comfortable.

You always come up with some very interesting quotes... :)
