I was fairly poor but most of my money went for wine and classical music. I loved to mix the two together.
Charles Bukowski
Image
God knows I am not too hippy. Perhaps because I am too much around the hip and I fear fads for, like anybody else, I like something that tends to last.
Charles Bukowski
Image
It was too much. The comfortable people made comfortable jokes about weather and things but I sat mostly silent saying a word or so when necessary a word or so trying to hide from them the fact that I was a fool and feeling terrible And I was numb, numb again, numb again again and again, numbness and pain swelling in me.

Charles Bukowski
Image
The crazy ones only laugh when there is no reason to laugh.
Charles Bukowski

I've found out why men sign their names to their works- not that they created them but more than the others did not.
Charles Bukowski
Image
There's a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out but I'm too tough for him, I say, stay in there, I'm not going to let anybody see you.
Charles Bukowski
Image
great writers are indecent people they live unfairly saving the best part for paper. good human beings save the world so that bastards like me can keep creating art, become immortal. if you read this after I am dead it means I made it.
Charles Bukowski
Image
It's just that the grape has me down.
Charles Bukowski
Image
You can forgive a fool because he only runs in one direction and doesn't deceive anybody. It's the deceivers who make you feel bad.
Charles Bukowski
Image
Love dries up, I thought as I walked back to the bathroom, even faster than sperm.
Charles Bukowski
Image
the masses are everywhere they know how to do things: they have sane and deadly angers for sane and deadly things.
Charles Bukowski
Image
if you get married they think you're finished and if you are without a woman they think you're incomplete.
Charles Bukowski

All a guy needed was a chance. Somebody was alway controlling who got a chance and who didn't.
