More quotes by Charles Bukowski
as the shadows assume shapes I fight the slow retreat now my once-promise dwindling dwindling now lighting new cigarettes pouring more drinks it has been a beautiful fight still is.
Charles Bukowski
as the spirit wanes the form appears
Charles Bukowski
The masses are always wrong...Wisdom is doing everything the crowd does not do. All you do is reverse the totality of their learning and you have the heaven they're looking for.
Charles Bukowski
I took no pride in my solitude but I was dependent on it. The darkness of the room was like sunlight to me.
Charles Bukowski
it is all ash and dry leaves and grief gone like an ocean liner.
Charles Bukowski
I will remember the kisses, our lips raw with love, and how you gave me everything you had and how I offered you what was left of me.
Charles Bukowski
If you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don't even start.
Charles Bukowski
Boring damned people. All over the earth. Propagating more boring damned people. What a horror show. The earth swarmed with them.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
well, death says, as he walks by, I'm going to get you anyhow no matter what you've been: writer, cab-driver, pimp, butcher, sky-diver, I'm going to get you
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
Never get out of bed before noon.
Charles Bukowski
The streets were full of insane & dull people. Most of them lived in nice houses and didn't seem to work, and you wondered how they did it.
Charles Bukowski
There's nothing else as pleasant as being unpleasant when there's nothing else to do, and there's usually nothing else to do.
Charles Bukowski
If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is.
Charles Bukowski
I'm very clever at hiding poems perhaps more clever than I am at writing them.
Charles Bukowski
There still might be a place for us somewhere.
Charles Bukowski
They laughed. Things were funny. They weren't afraid to care. There was no sense to life, to the structure of things.
Charles Bukowski
Banion wondered which was worse - being sodomized by aliens, or having to sit through two hours of Charles Ives.
Charles Bukowski
You have to die a few times before you can really live.
Charles Bukowski
