Cluttered Quote by Charles Bukowski
“...maybe a damned good night's sleep will bring me back to a gentle sanity. But at the moment, I look about this room and, like myself, it's all in disarray: things fallen out of place, cluttered, jumbled, lost, knocked over and I can't put it straight, don't want to. Perhaps living through these petty days will get us ready for the dangerous ones.”

![“[The] BBC was known as Auntie suggesting someone prudish and Victorian and that she still is on some days. On others she's a champagne-soaked floozie, her skirts in disarray, her mind in the gutter, and the mixture can be quite wonderful.” quote by Morley Safer](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/edb/morley-safer-17896_auntie_the-bbc-was-known-as-auntie-suggesting-s_689701.jpg)
