Identify this quote: "An intellectual says a simple thing..."
Full quote: "An intellectual says a simple thing in a hard way; an artist says a hard thing in a simple way."
I've seen this quote attributed to Bukowski on various sites, but can't find where it's from, or even whether it's from poetry, prose, interviews, etc.
I'd like to use it as an opener for an essay, but can't source. I'd prefer a page number, but any point in the right direction is much appreciated!
