It is the ghost of your possibilities hanging around your neck, an invisible albatros, potentials unknowingly murdered.

Send you flowers when you least expect it. He'll stare at you during the movies, even though he paid $8 to see it. He'll call to say goodnight or just cause he's missing you. He'll look in your eyes and tell you, you're the most beautiful girl in the world, and for the first times in your life, you'll believe it.

• A yet women -good women- frightened me because they eventually wanted your soul, and what was left of mine, I wanted to keep.

Yet at the same time I yearned for a gentle, good woman, despite the overwhelming price.

  Charles Bukowski

• Not that anyone minds--no one's paying attention to the music. Most of them never really listen to music. Practically no one actually does. Even at concerts people pay good money for, instead of a three-dollar cover charge, they talk through the whole thing. I feel sorry for them, since none of them understand what it's like to have a song just get into your soul and become your whole world. They don't know what it's like when a song changes your life.

  Adam Selzer
