Go all the way
“If you're going to try, go all the way.
Otherwise, don't even start.
This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind. I
t could mean not eating for three or four days.
It could mean freezing on a park bench.
It could mean jail.
It could mean derision.
It could mean mockery--isolation.
Isolation is the gift.
All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it.
And, you'll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds.
And it will be better than anything else you can imagine.
If you're going to try, go all the way.
There is no other feeling like that.
You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire.
You will ride life straight to perfect laughter.
It's the only good fight there is.”

yeraltı edebiyatının en önemli isimlerinden olan amerikalı yazar.
Kendisi ile tanışmam 2008-2009’lara denk gelir. 16-17 yaşlarındayken üniversitedeki amcamın izlediği ve benim de çok sevdiğim californication dizisiyle adını duymuştum. Amcam da biraz anlatmıştı şöyle taşaklı adam böyle kral falan diye.
Sonrasında ise bizim orada rampalı çarşı’dan postane kitabını alıp okumuştum. Kitap iyiydi yalnız.
