More quotes by Charles Bukowski
You can steal my women but don't play with my whiskey.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
too often, the only escape is sleep
Charles Bukowski
That's the problem with drinking, I thought, as I poured myself a drink. If something bad happens you drink in an attempt to forget if something good happens you drink in order to celebrate and if nothing happens you drink to make something happen.
Charles Bukowski
There is nothing that teaches you more than regrouping after failure and moving on. Yet most people are stricken with fear. They fear failure so much that they fail. They are too conditioned, too used to being told what to do. It begins with the family, runs through school and goes into the business world.
Charles Bukowski
nothing can save you except writing. it keeps the walls from failing.
Charles Bukowski
I was drawn to all the wrong things: I liked to drink, I was lazy, I didn't have a god, politics, ideas, ideals.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
I would be married, but I'd have no wife, I would be married to a single life.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
There is nothing that teaches you more than regrouping after failure and moving on.
Charles Bukowski
The empty, the angry, the lonely, the tricked, we are all museums of fear.
Charles Bukowski
If you can only remain pure in your stupidity, someday you may get a phone call from hell.
Charles Bukowski
I heard an airplane passing overhead. I wished I was on it.
Charles Bukowski
The whole LSD, STP, marijuana, heroin, hashish, prescription cough medicine crowd suffers from the Watchtower itch: you gotta be with us, man, or you're out, you're dead. This pitch is a continual and seeming MUST with those who use the stuff. It's no wonder they keep getting busted.
Charles Bukowski
A love like that was a serious illness, an illness from which you never entirely recover.
Charles Bukowski
It's 4:30 in the morning, it's always 4:30 in the morning.
Charles Bukowski
Trouble and pain were what kept a man alive. Or trying to avoid trouble and pain. It was a full time job.
Charles Bukowski
it is all ash and dry leaves and grief gone like an ocean liner.
Charles Bukowski
If you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don't even start.
Charles Bukowski
