More quotes by Charles Bukowski
They, all of them, seemed to put literary form in front of the actuality and living of life itself.
Charles Bukowski
The problem was you had to keep choosing between one evil or another, and no matter what you chose, they sliced a little bit more off you, until there was nothing left.
Charles Bukowski
Sometimes I get too exhausted to even feel bad
Charles Bukowski
There's nothing unusual about love.
Charles Bukowski
I feel strangely normal.
Charles Bukowski
Never envy a man his lady. Behind it all lays a living hell.
Charles Bukowski
Each person is only given so many evenings and each wasted evening is a gross violation against the natural course of your only life.
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
My heart is a thousand years old. I am not like other people.
Charles Bukowski
don't be ashamed of anything I guess God meant it all like locks on doors.
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
You are thirty minutes late. Yes. Would you be thirty minutes late to a wedding or a funeral? No. Why not, pray tell? Well, if the funeral was mine I'd have to be on time. If the wedding was mine it would be my funeral.
Charles Bukowski
if you get married they think you're finished and if you are without a woman they think you're incomplete.
Charles Bukowski
It's not the large things that send a man to the madhouse... no, it's the continuing series of small tragedies... not the death of his love but the shoelace that snaps with no time left.
Charles Bukowski
hate contains truth. beauty is a facade.
Charles Bukowski
The whole LSD, STP, marijuana, heroin, hashish, prescription cough medicine crowd suffers from the Watchtower itch: you gotta be with us, man, or you're out, you're dead. This pitch is a continual and seeming MUST with those who use the stuff. It's no wonder they keep getting busted.
Charles Bukowski
The ladies usually go for the biggest damn fool they can find that is why the human race stands where it does today: we have bred the clever and lasting Casanovas, all hollow inside, like the chocolate Easter bunnies we foster upon our poor children.
Charles Bukowski
What's genius? I don't know but I do know that the difference between a madman and a professional is that a pro does as well as he can within what he has set out to do and a madman does exceptionally well at what he can't help doing.
Charles Bukowski
I'm very clever at hiding poems perhaps more clever than I am at writing them.
Charles Bukowski
one more creature dizzy with love
