A Bukowski Quote where he Quotes Someone Else

"...but, basically, you have a right to publish anybody you want to. I think of something John Thomas told me one night, 'No matter what you do, a certain number of people are going to dislike it, others will like it, and the vast majority will not give a damn one way or the other.' Once you understand this, the snipers will not make so much difference."

-Charles Bukowski to John Martin, June 22, 1970
