More quotes by Charles Bukowski
I was an Agnostic. Agnostics didn't have much to argue about.
Charles Bukowski
the people are the biggest horror show on earth, have been for centuries.
Charles Bukowski
Love is a form of prejudice. You love what you need, you love what makes you feel good, you love what is convenient. How can you say you love one person when there are ten thousand people in the world that you would love more if you ever met them? But you'll never meet them.
Charles Bukowski
Baby, I said. I'm a genius but nobody knows it but me.
Charles Bukowski
My dear, Find what you love and let it kill you. Let it drain you of your all. Let it cling onto your back and weigh you down into eventual nothingness. Let it kill you and let it devour your remains. For all things will kill you, both slowly and fastly, but it’s much better to be killed by a lover. ~ Falsely yours
Charles Bukowski
the tired sunsets and the tired people - it takes a lifetime to die and no time at all.
Charles Bukowski
there's no clarity. there was never meant to be clarity.
Charles Bukowski
If you want to create, you'll create.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
Love breaks my bones and I laugh
Charles Bukowski
We do not abandon ship. I say, as corny as it may sound, through the strength and spirit and fire and dare and gamble of a few men in a few ways we can save the carcass of humanity from drowning. No light goes out until it goes out. Let's fight as men, not rats. Period. No further addition.
Charles Bukowski
they simply never understand, do they, that sometimes solitude is one of the most beautiful things on earth?
Charles Bukowski
she was consumed by 3 simple things: drink, despair, loneliness and 2 more: youth and beauty
Charles Bukowski
I would say that Mickey Mouse has a greater influence on the American public than Shakespeare, Milton, Dante, Rabelais, Shostakovitch, Lenin, and/or Van Gogh. Which says 'What?' about the American Public. Disneyland remains the central attraction of Southern California, but the graveyard remains our reality.
Charles Bukowski
the way to create art is to burn and destroy ordinary concepts and to substitute them with new truths that run down from the top of the head and out of the heart
Charles Bukowski
I had noticed that both in the very poor and very rich extremes of society the mad were often allowed to mingle freely.
Charles Bukowski
If I hadn't been a drunkard, I probably would have committed suicide long ago.
Charles Bukowski
you are yesterday's bouquet so sadly raided
Charles Bukowski
Never bring a lot of money to where a poor man lives. He can only lose what little he has. On the other hand it is mathematically possible that he might win whatever you bring with you. What you must do, with money and the poor, is never let them get too close to one another.
Charles Bukowski
We are here to laugh at the odds.
Charles Bukowski
