Charles Bukowski

"You're automatic And you're heart is like an engine I die with every beat !"

"Women want mediocre men, and men are working hard to become as mediocre as possible."

""The story of the human race is the story of men and women selling themselves short.""

"E eu vivia à flor da pele, nem percebia Que das vezes que eu ria era vontade de chorar... Frase de Duda Beat."

"We could've had it all rolling in the deep you had my heart inside of your hand and you played it to the beat."

"Ainda bem que aprendi a ser Egoísta com você Tá reclamando do quê? Tá reclamando do quê? Devia se orgulhar... Frase de Duda Beat."

"Maybe some women aren`t meant to be tamed. Maybe they`re supposed to run wild until they find someone - just as wild - to run with."

"Here's all you have to know about men and women: women are crazy, men are stupid. And the main reason women are crazy is that men are stupid."

"Here's all you have to know about men and women: women are crazy, men are stupid. And the main reason women are crazy is that men are stupid...."

"Eu não vou buscar a felicidade em mais ninguém Porque cansei, meu amor Dessa procura por um nada Que só está aqui na cabeça... Frase de Duda Beat."

"⁠A caneta mudou minha vida Com o verso escrito no papel E o beat que encaixa com a rima Quem abençoou foi o papai do céu... Frase de Lucas Penteado."

"⁠Tem uma frase do Bukowski que diz “não há nada que ensine mais do que se reorganizar depois do fracasso e seguir em frente”. E é por aí. A gente tem que seguir..."

"A vida toda eu quis me dar inteira Mas você só queria a metade E desse jeito a gente viveu uma coisa louca Você gostou Depois pegou, olhou e viu que não serviu... Frase de Duda Beat."

"Everything you fell every heart that can beat they´re all the same strong but stupid Everywhere you look, every eyes that you see, they´re all the same deep but empty No ending tunnels with no air, with no light. Everything you hear every voice that you trust they´re all the same Soft but weak A successful blockbuster whit no truth, with no reality"

"The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! Now if you know what you're worth then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain't you! You're better than that!"

"The Paradoxical Commandments People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered. Love them anyway. If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives. Do good anyway. If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway. The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable. Be honest and frank, anyway. The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds. Think big anyway. People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs. Fight for a few underdogs anyway. What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. Build anyway. People really need help, but may attack you if you do help them. Help people anyway. Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth. Give the world the best you have anyway."

"I stand in the ring in the dead city and tie on the red shoes. Everything that was calm is mine, the watch with an ant walking, the toes, lined up like dogs, the stove long before it boils toads, the parlor, white in winter, long before flies, the doe lying down on moss, long before the bullet. I tie on the red shoes. They are not mine. They are my mother’s. Her mother’s before. Handed down like an heirloom but hidden like shameful letters. The house and the street where they belong are hidden and all the women, too, are hidden. All those girls who wore the red shoes, each boarded a train that would not stop. Stations flew by like suitors and would not stop. They all danced like trout on the hook. They were played with. They tore off their ears like safety pins. Their arms fell off them and became hats. Their heads rolled off and sang down the street. And their feet – oh God, their feet in the market place - their feet, those two beetles, ran for the corner and then danced forth as if they were proud. Surely, people exclaimed, surely they are mechanical. Otherwise… But the feet went on. The feet could not stop. They were wound up like a cobra that sees you. They were elastic pulling itself in two. They were islands during an earthquake. They were ships colliding and going down. Never mind you and me. They could not listen. They could not stop. What they did was the death dance. What they did would do them in."
