More quotes by Charles Bukowski
Once a woman turns against you, forget it. They can love you, then something turns in them. They can watch you dying in a gutter, run over by a car, and they'll spit on you.
Charles Bukowski
Dying in a a war never stopped wars from happening.
Charles Bukowski
That’s when I first learned that it wasn’t enough to just do your job, you had to have an interest in it, even a passion for it.
Charles Bukowski
It’s never quite right, all the things we are taught, all the loves we chase, all the deaths we die, all the lives we live.
Charles Bukowski
This incompleteness is all we have.
Charles Bukowski
There's a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out but I pour whiskey on him and inhale cigarette smoke and the whores and the bartenders and the grocery clerks never know that he's in there.
Charles Bukowski
I knew it would be you
Charles Bukowski
I was young I was so young it hurt like a knife inside because there was no alternative except to hide as long as possible--- not in self-pity but with dismay at my limited chance: trying to connect.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
The empty, the angry, the lonely, the tricked, we are all museums of fear.
Charles Bukowski
what matters most is how well you walk through the fire
Charles Bukowski
Are you becoming what you've always hated?
Charles Bukowski
Many a good man has been put under the bridge by a woman.
Charles Bukowski
I can never drive my car over a bridge without thinking of suicide. I can never look at a lake or an ocean without thinking of suicide.
Charles Bukowski
To me Art (poetry) is a continuous and continuing process and that when a man fails to write good poetry he fails to live fully or well.
Charles Bukowski
I write as a function. Without it I would fall ill and die. It's as much a part of one as the liver or intestine, and just about as glamorous.
Charles Bukowski
The male, for all his bravado and exploration, is the loyal one, the one who generally feels love. The female is skilled at betrayal and torture and damnation.
Charles Bukowski
Complaint is often the result of an insufficient ability to live within the obvious restrictions of this god damned cage.
Charles Bukowski
i dunno, i said, but i have an idea that people who don't think too much tend to look younger longer
Charles Bukowski
The wisest thing to do if you’re living in hell is to make yourself comfortable.
Charles Bukowski
