Charles Bukowski on Writers and Writing

The average man puts in his eight hours, comes home beaten and satisfied. With the writer there is never satisfaction; there is always the next piece of work to be done.
Charles Bukowski

As a youth I saw too many movies of the great artist, and the writer was always some tragic and very interesting chap with a fine goatee, blazing eyes, and inner truths springing to his tongue continually....The best writers that I know talk very little, I mean those who are doing the good writing. In fact, there is nothing duller than a good writer.
Charles Bukowski
