More quotes by Charles Bukowski
my hands dead my heart dead silence adagio of rocks the world ablaze that's the best for me.
Charles Bukowski
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
We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.
Charles Bukowski
Find what you love and let it kill you. For all things will kill you, both slowly and fastly, but it’s much better to be killed by a lover.
Charles Bukowski
What were you going to do tonight? I was going to listen to the songs of Rachmaninoff. Who's that? A dead Russian.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
your letters got sadder. your lovers betrayed you. kid, I wrote back, all lovers betray. it didn't help. you said you had a crying bench and it was by a bridge and the bridge was over the river and you sat on the crying bench every night and wept for the lovers who had hurt and forgotten you.
Charles Bukowski
Drink from the well of yourself and begin again.
Charles Bukowski
I see men assassinated around me every day. I walk through rooms of the dead, streets of the dead, cities of the dead men without eyes, men without voices men with manufactured feelings and standard reactions men with newspaper brains, television souls and high school ideas.
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
The worst thing for a writer is to know another writer, and worse than that, to know a number of other writers. Like flies on the same turd.
Charles Bukowski
If you want to create, you'll create.
Charles Bukowski
human relationships simply aren't durable. I think back to the women in my life. they seem non-existent.
Charles Bukowski
But she projected vitality - you knew that she was there.
Charles Bukowski
all that I know is that I believe in the sound of music and the running of a horse. all else is squabble.
Charles Bukowski
