More quotes by Charles Bukowski
she’ mad but she’ magic. there’ no lie in her fire.
Charles Bukowski
Of course, there would always be arguments. That is the nature of Woman. They like the mutual exchange of dirty laundry, a bit of screaming, a bit of dramatics. Then an exchange of vows.
Charles Bukowski
It was only the matter of a new voice. Nobody listened to an old voice anymore. Old voices became a part of one's self, like a fingernail.
Charles Bukowski
This incompleteness is all we have.
Charles Bukowski
since some people had told me that I was ugly, I always preferred shade to the sun, darkness to light
Charles Bukowski
Basically, that's why I wrote: to save my ass, to save my ass from the madhouse, from the streets, from myself.
Charles Bukowski
I have gotten so used to melancholia that I greet it like an old friend.
Charles Bukowski
the writing of some men is like a vast bridge that carries you over the many things that claw and tear. The Wine of Forever
Charles Bukowski
I wish to weep but sorrow is stupid. I wish to believe but belief is a graveyard.
Charles Bukowski
The public takes from a writer, or a writing, what it needs and lets the remainder go. but what they take is usually what they need least and what they let go is what they need most.
Charles Bukowski
True revolution comes from true revulsion when things get bad enough the kitten will kill the lion.
Charles Bukowski
Some people like what you do, some people hate what you do, but most people simply don't give a damn.
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
I held her wrists and then I got it through the eyes: hatred, centuries deep and true. I was wrong and graceless and sick. all the things I had learned had been wasted. there was no creature living as foul as I and all my poems were false.
Charles Bukowski
I often stood in front of the mirror alone, wondering how ugly a person could get.
Charles Bukowski
…He was always high on drugs. I was not a drug man, but in case I wanted to hide from myself for a few days, I knew I could get anything I wanted from him.
Charles Bukowski
some men never die and some men never live but we're all alive tonight.
Charles Bukowski
I've learned to feel good when I feel good. it's better to be driven around in a red porsche than to own one. the luck of the fool is inviolate.
Charles Bukowski
What good are you? What can you do? It has cost me a thousands of dollars to raise you, feed you, clothe you! Suppose I left you here on the street? Then what would you do? Catch butterflies
Charles Bukowski
nothing's news. it's the same old thing in disguise. only one thing comes without a disguise and you only see it once, or maybe never. like getting hit by a freight train. makes us realize that all our moaning about long lost girls in gingham dresses is not so important after all.
Charles Bukowski
