About This Quote

Sometimes when everything seems at its worst, when all conspires and gnaws and the hours, days, weeks, years seem wasted, I get what many will consider an obnoxious thought. It is still nice to be Bukowski. Without him there would be no me. In this quote from the poem “Somebody’s Daughter” by Robert Bly, he is saying that without you there would be no me. In a way, you are the world to me. You are what keeps me going, what makes my day a better one, and my life a meaningful one. You are my inspiration and passion for life without you I am nothing.
