Charles Bukowski Quotes:
Ocupation: Poet
Life: August 16, 1920 - March 9, 1994
Birthday: August 16
Death: March 9
But then if you lied to a man about his talent just because he was sitting across from you, that was the most unforgivable lie of them all, because that was telling him to go on, to continue which was the worst way for a man without real talent to waste his life, finally. But many people did just that, friends and relatives mostly.
