“Drinking is an emotional thing. It joggles you out of the standardism of everyday life, out of everything being the same. It yanks you out of your body and your mind and throws you against the wall. I have the feeling that drinking is a form of suicide where you’re allowed to return to life and begin all over the next day. It’s like killing yourself, and then you’re reborn. I guess I’ve lived about ten or fifteen thousand lives now.”
—Charles Bukowski (via hedi-slimane)
“My only relief is to sleep. When I’m sleeping, I’m not sad, I’m not angry, I’m not lonely, I’m nothing.”
—Jillian Medoff, Hunger Point (via funeraire)
“Fashion is the armor that helps us survive everyday life.”

“To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.”
—~E.E Cummings (via theimpossiblecool)
“Black is not sad. Bright colors are what depresses me. They’re so… empty. Black is poetic. How do you imagine a poet? In a bright yellow jacket? Probably not.”
—Ann Demeulemeester (via hedi-slimane)
“I often carry things to read so that I will not have to look at the people.”
—Charles Bukowski (via hedi-slimane)
