Quote

Even the stove and the refrigerator looked human, I mean good human - they seemed to have arms and voices and they said, hang around, kid, it's good here, it can be very good here.

The Difference Between Art and Life is that Art is More Bearable

Sometimes you just have to pee in the sink.

you are yesterday's bouquet so sadly raided
Charles Bukowski

The nine-to-five is one of the greatest atrocities sprung upon mankind. You give your life to a function that doesn't interest you. This situation so repelled me that I was driven to drink, starvation, and mad females, simply as an alternative.

Image
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.

Genius might be the ability to say a profound thing in a simple way.

That's the problem with drinking, I thought, as I poured myself a drink. If something bad happens you drink in an attempt to forget if something good happens you drink in order to celebrate and if nothing happens you drink to make something happen.

Alcohol is probably one of the greatest things to arrive upon the earth - alongside of me.
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.

if you think they didn't go crazy in tiny rooms just like you're doing now without women without food without hope then you're not ready.

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.

Where did all the women come from? The supply was endless. Each one of them was individual, different. Their pussies were different, their kisses were different, their breasts were different, but no man could drink them all, there were too many of them, crossing their legs, driving men mad. What a feast!

Don’t do it. Don’t love me.

I am for the small man who has not forgotten, for the man who loves his beer and his women and his sunlight
