I wanted the whole world or nothing.
Charles Bukowski
To experience real agony is something hard to write about, impossible to understand while it grips you you're frightened out of your wits, can’t sit still, move, or even go decently insane.
Charles Bukowski
It seems I make a lot of mistakes and it seems that I am not allowed any.
Charles Bukowski
when I was a boy I used to dream of becoming the village idiot. I used to lie in bed and imagine myself the happy idiot able to get food easily ...and easy sympathy, a planned confusion of not too much love or effort. some would claim that I have succeeded.
Charles Bukowski
I feel strangely normal.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
sometimes I hate you, she said.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
The Difference Between Art and Life is that Art is More Bearable

Charles Bukowski
We are hardly ever as strong as that which we create.
Charles Bukowski
Disneyland remains the central attraction of Southern California, but the graveyard remains our reality.
Charles Bukowski
It's hot tonight and half the neighborhood is drunk. the other half is dead. if I have any advice about writing poetry it's - don't. I'm going to send out for some fried chicken.
Charles Bukowski
some moments are nice, some are nicer, some are even worth writing about.
Charles Bukowski
Some people like what you do, some people hate what you do, but most people simply don't give a damn.
Charles Bukowski
I could read the great books but the great books don't interest me.
Charles Bukowski
Love breaks my bones and I laugh
Charles Bukowski
I'm too careless. I don't put out enough effort. I'm tired.
Charles Bukowski
