More quotes by Charles Bukowski
Dear child, I only did to you what the sparrow did to you I am old when it is fashionable to be young I cry when it is fashionable to laugh. I hated you when it would have taken less courage to love.
Charles Bukowski
It's 4:30 in the morning, it's always 4:30 in the morning.
Charles Bukowski

When you drank the world was still out there, but for the moment it didn’t have you by the throat.
Charles Bukowski
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
We do not abandon ship. I say, as corny as it may sound, through the strength and spirit and fire and dare and gamble of a few men in a few ways we can save the carcass of humanity from drowning. No light goes out until it goes out. Let's fight as men, not rats. Period. No further addition.
Charles Bukowski
This incompleteness is all we have.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
I am this fiery snail crawling home.
Charles Bukowski
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.
Charles Bukowski
Basically, that's why I wrote: to save my ass, to save my ass from the madhouse, from the streets, from myself.
Charles Bukowski
Do you hate people? I don't hate them...I just feel better when they're not around.
Charles Bukowski
I was only photographing in words the reality of it all.
Charles Bukowski
Those who preach god, need god Those who preach peace do not have peace Those who preach love do not have love
Charles Bukowski
I was laying in bed one night and I thought 'I'll just quit - to hell with it.' And another little voice inside me said 'Don't quit - save that tiny little ember of spark.' And never give them that spark because as long as you have that spark, you can start the greatest fire again.
Charles Bukowski
Finally there is nothing here for death to take away.
Charles Bukowski
When Ginsburg is at the top of his game you might as well put down your toys and listen.
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
