The worst men have the best jobs the best men have the worst jobs or are unemployed or locked in madhouses.
Charles Bukowski
In a more universal sense, we only get one thing. You know...a head stone if we're lucky if not, green grass.
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
I take much pleasure in being alone but there is also a strange warm grace in not being alone.
Charles Bukowski
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.
Charles Bukowski
The night kept coming on in and there was nothing I could do.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
People just weren't interesting. Maybe they weren't supposed to be. But animals, birds, even insects were. I couldn't understand it.
Charles Bukowski
There would never be a way for me to live comfortably with people. Maybe I'd become a monk. I'd pretend to believe in God and live in a cubicle, play an organ and stay drunk on wine.
Charles Bukowski
one can never be sure whether it's good poetry or bad acid
Charles Bukowski
If I hadn't been a drunkard, I probably would have committed suicide long ago.
Charles Bukowski
Too often the people complain that they have done nothing with their lives and then they wait for somebody to tell them that this isn't so.
Charles Bukowski
The streets were full of insane & dull people. Most of them lived in nice houses and didn't seem to work, and you wondered how they did it.
Charles Bukowski
I'll use the knives for spreading jam, and the gas to warm my greying love.
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
Goodness can be found sometimes in the middle of hell.
Charles Bukowski
