. . . beware those who seek constant crowds for
they are nothing alone
beware the average man the average woman
beware their love, their love is average
seeks average

but there is genius in their hatred
there is enough genius in their hatred to kill you
to kill anybody
not wanting solitude
not understanding solitude
they will attempt to destroy anything
that differs from their own
not being able to create art
they will not understand art
they will consider their failure as creators
only as a failure of the world
not being able to love fully
they will believe your love incomplete
and then they will hate you
and their hatred will be perfect . . .

— from The Genious of the Crowd by Charles Bukowski

  1. Your artwork is exquisite.
    And the wise raven rises above Bukowski’s crowd-ers to sit solo for a pleasant smirk …
    I love ravens! Happy to have one “look down on me” any time!

  2. ” It was not for nothing that the raven was just now croaking on my left hand.”
