madhouses QUOTES

1 " Born into this
Into hospitals which are so expensive that it's cheaper to die
Into lawyers who charge so much it's cheaper to plead guilty
Into a country where the jails are full and the madhouses closed
Into a place where the masses elevate fools into rich heroes... "

― Charles Bukowski

"

― Charles Bukowski , Tales of Ordinary Madness
