Image
Fay had a spot of blood on the left side of her mouth and I took a wet cloth and wiped it off. Women were meant to suffer no wonder they asked for constant declarations of love.
Charles Bukowski
Image
I never met another man I'd rather be. And even if that's a delusion, it's a lucky one.
Charles Bukowski
Image
Complaint is often the result of an insufficient ability to live within the obvious restrictions of this god damned cage.
Charles Bukowski
Image
We're all going to die, all of us, what a circus! That alone should make us love each other but it doesn't. We are terrorized and flattened by trivialities, we are eaten up by nothing.
Charles Bukowski
Image
There's nothing unusual about love.
Charles Bukowski
Image
Wherever the crowd goes run in the other direction. They're always wrong.
Charles Bukowski
Image
They looked as if nothing had ever touched them--all well-mothered, protected, with a soft sheen of contentment. None of them had ever been in jail, or worked hard with their hands, or even gotten a traffic ticket. Skimmed-milk jollies, the whole bunch.
Charles Bukowski
Image
My dear, Find what you love and let it kill you. Let it drain you of your all. Let it cling onto your back and weigh you down into eventual nothingness. Let it kill you and let it devour your remains. For all things will kill you, both slowly and fastly, but it’s much better to be killed by a lover. ~ Falsely yours
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
Image
The free soul is rare, but you know it when you see it
Charles Bukowski
Image
That's what friendship means: sharing the prejudice of experience.
Charles Bukowski
Image
my 6 foot goddess makes me laugh the laughter of the mutilated who still need love... she has saved me from everything that is not here
Charles Bukowski
Image
love be damned now as love was damned when it first arrived.
Charles Bukowski
Image
she’ mad but she’ magic. there’ no lie in her fire.
Charles Bukowski
Image
I often carry things to read so that I will not have to look at the people.
Charles Bukowski
Image
That's how it is with books, isn't it: They're not in a hurry. They'll wait for you till you're ready. People empty me. I have to go away to refill.
Charles Bukowski
Image
People need me. I fill them. If they can't see me for a while they get desperate, they get sick. But if I see them too often I get sick. It's hard to feed without getting fed.
Charles Bukowski
Image
Some lose all mind and become soul,insane. some lose all soul and become mind, intellectual. some lose both and become accepted
Charles Bukowski
Image
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
Image
In a more universal sense, we only get one thing. You know...a head stone if we're lucky if not, green grass.
