If youβre going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, donβt even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery, isolation. Isolation is the gift. All others are a test of your endurance. Of how much you really want to do it. And youβll do it, despite rejection in the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If youβre going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like thatβ¦And the nights will flame with fireβ¦Itβs the only good fight there is.
Charles Bukowski, Factotum (via wordsnquotes)
