I do not have time for things that have no soul

[David]

Does anyone know where this quotation comes from?

where this quotation comes from?

Someone's imagination? That would be my guess, since the only reference to it is tumblr, Pinterest and Facebook images.

If it's Bukowski it sounds like it would have been part of a letter, but I don't find it, or anything like it, in any of the letter books (not including On Writing, which I don't have a pdf for yet).

It has the same English-as-a-second-language quality that the find what you love "quote" has, which leads me to believe it's not a Bukowski quote (or it's a bastardization of an actual Bukowski quote). I'm not like an ordinary world?


We're going to need a separate forum for these soon...

yeah, sounds wrong.

Just add Buk to the never-ending list.

But it's on AZ Quotes... It must be true.

I sometimes wonder if these quotes maybe someone say in germany, reading a buk book in german, and trying to translate the quote back to english. That's a huge benefit of the doubt scenario... because most of the shit is probably just made up.

Does anyone know where the following quote is from:

Understand me. I’m not like an ordinary world. I have my madness, I live in another dimension and I do not have time for things that have no soul.

It is credited to him all over the webs, but no source anywhere :(

deja vu

Merged threads.

"I have my madness" is the only part of this quote that could maybe sound like Bukowski.

Rest sounds like weepy bullshit.

I think @DaPrince34 is on to something. They sound like translations gone wrong.

Kind of like this...
