I walk into the kitchen, look at the typer down there on the floor. It's a dirty floor. It's a dirty typer that types dirty stories
Charles Bukowski
and our few good times will be rare because we have the critical sense and are not easy to fool with laughter
Charles Bukowski
Love is a form of prejudice. I have too many other prejudices.
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
we know God is dead, they've told us, but listening to you I wasn't sure.

He asked, What makes a man a writer? Well, I said, it's simple. You either get it down on paper, or jump off a bridge.
Charles Bukowski
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
Alcohol is probably one of the greatest things to arrive upon the earth - alongside of me.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
Goodness can be found sometimes in the middle of hell.
Charles Bukowski
It’s never quite right, all the things we are taught, all the loves we chase, all the deaths we die, all the lives we live.
Charles Bukowski
To experience real agony is something hard to write about, impossible to understand while it grips you you're frightened out of your wits, can’t sit still, move, or even go decently insane.
Charles Bukowski
in the cupboard sits my bottle like a dwarf waiting to scratch out my prayers. I drink and cough like some idiot at a symphony, sunlight and maddened birds are everywhere, the phone rings gamboling its sound against the odds of the crooked sea I drink deeply and evenly now, I drink to paradise and death and the lie of love.
Charles Bukowski
God knows I am not too hippy. Perhaps because I am too much around the hip and I fear fads for, like anybody else, I like something that tends to last.
Charles Bukowski
Careful poetry and careful people live only long enough to die safely.
Charles Bukowski
Morals were restrictive, but they were grounded on human experience.
