More quotes by Charles Bukowski
I felt I had to win. It seemed very important. I didn't know why it was important and I kept thinking, why do I think this is so important? And another part of me answered, just because it is.
Charles Bukowski
I could read the great books but the great books don't interest me.
Charles Bukowski
I am for the small man who has not forgotten, for the man who loves his beer and his women and his sunlight
Charles Bukowski
Potential, I said, doesn't mean a thing. You've got to do it. Almost every baby in a crib has more potential than I have.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
I would say that Mickey Mouse has a greater influence on the American public than Shakespeare, Milton, Dante, Rabelais, Shostakovitch, Lenin, and/or Van Gogh. Which says 'What?' about the American Public. Disneyland remains the central attraction of Southern California, but the graveyard remains our reality.
Charles Bukowski
There are no good wars or bad wars. The only thing bad about a war is to lose it. All wars have been fought for a so-called good Cause on both sides. But only the victor's Cause becomes history's Noble Cause. It's not a matter of who is right or who is wrong, it's a matter of who has the best generals and the better army!
Charles Bukowski
I was an Agnostic. Agnostics didn't have much to argue about.
Charles Bukowski
the writing of some men is like a vast bridge that carries you over the many things that claw and tear. The Wine of Forever
Charles Bukowski
Why did I come here? I thought. Why is it always only a matter of choosing between something bad and something worse?
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
Too often the people complain that they have done nothing with their lives and then they wait for somebody to tell them that this isn't so.
Charles Bukowski
a good book can make an almost impossible existence, liveable ( from 'the luck of the word' )
Charles Bukowski
Find what you love and let it kill you. For all things will kill you, both slowly and fastly, but it’s much better to be killed by a lover.
Charles Bukowski
