More quotes by Charles Bukowski
A man needed somebody. There wasn't anybody around, so you had to make up somebody, make him up to be like a man should be. It wasn't make-believe or cheating. The other way was make-believe and cheating: living your life without a man like him around.
Charles Bukowski
The pest, in a sense, is a very superior being to us: he knows where to find us and how--usually in the bath or in sexual intercourse or asleep.
Charles Bukowski
People don't need love. What they need is success in one form or another. It can be love but it needn't be.
Charles Bukowski
We are hardly ever as strong as that which we create.
Charles Bukowski
The apartment was built at the edge of a high cliff so that when you looked out the back window it seemed as if you were twelve floors up instead of four. It was very much like living on the edge of the world - a last resting place before the final big drop.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
They laughed. Things were funny. They weren't afraid to care. There was no sense to life, to the structure of things.
Charles Bukowski
We're all going to die, all of us, what a circus!
Charles Bukowski
the way to create art is to burn and destroy ordinary concepts and to substitute them with new truths that run down from the top of the head and out of the heart
Charles Bukowski
I drive around the streets an inch away from weeping, ashamed of my sentimentality and possible love.
Charles Bukowski
More often than not Democratic Law works to the advantage of the few even though the many have voted this, of course, is because the few have told them how to vote.
Charles Bukowski
It was like a church in there as only the truly lost sit in bars on Tuesday mornings at 8:00 a.m.
Charles Bukowski
Let' em learn or let' em die
Charles Bukowski
They, all of them, seemed to put literary form in front of the actuality and living of life itself.
Charles Bukowski
The Artist, an ancient sage had once said, is always sitting on the doorsteps of the rich.
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
Sometimes I feel as if we are all trapped in a movie. We know our lines, where to walk, how to act, only there is no camera. Yet, we can't break out of the movie. And it's a bad one.
Charles Bukowski
