We work too hard. We try too hard.

Don’t try. Don’t work. It’s there. It’s been looking right at us, aching to kick out of the closed womb.

There’s been too much direction. It’s all free, we needn’t be told.

Classes? Classes are for asses.

Bukowski’s only writing advice? “Don’t try.” A fine addition to our running list of writing advice from literary greats. (via explore-blog)

Breaking from the OWS stuff for a moment…
Found an original edition City Lights printing of Bukowski’s “Notes From A Dirty Old Man” today. Considering I’m pretty much couch-ridden until I get over whatever stomach virus I brought back from Ecuador, it couldn’t have come at a better time.
It’s a beautiful lookin’ book, is it not?
