Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
The hangover was brutal but he didn't mind. It told him he had been somewhere else, someplace good.
Charles Bukowski
The difference between a brave man and a coward is a coward thinks twice before jumping in the cage with a lion. The brave man doesn't know what a lion is. He just thinks he does.
Charles Bukowski
How are his poems? He's not as good as he thinks he is, but then most of us feel that way.
Charles Bukowski
one can never be sure whether it's good poetry or bad acid
Charles Bukowski
