“For those who believe
in God, most of the big questions are answered. But for those of us who can't
readily accept the God formula, the big answers don't remain stone-written. We
adjust to new conditions and discoveries. We are pliable. Love need not be a
command nor faith a dictum. I am my own god. We are here to unlearn the
teachings of the church, state, and our educational system. We are here to
drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live
our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.”
Charles Bukowski
