Charles Bukowski
don't be ashamed of anything I guess God meant it all like locks on doors.
Charles Bukowski
your letters got sadder. your lovers betrayed you. kid, I wrote back, all lovers betray. it didn't help. you said you had a crying bench and it was by a bridge and the bridge was over the river and you sat on the crying bench every night and wept for the lovers who had hurt and forgotten you.

Charles Bukowski
I don't carry notebooks and I don't consciously store ideas. I try not to think that I am a writer and I am pretty good at doing that. I don't like writers, but then I don't like insurance salesmen either.
Charles Bukowski
I have two rules. One is, never trust a man who smokes a pipe. The other is, never trust a man with shiny shoes.
Charles Bukowski
I stopped looking for a Dream Girl, I just wanted one that wasn't a nightmare.
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
