Charles Bukowski
Keep your money in your pocket. Or bet it on a good horse.
Charles Bukowski
If I stop writing I am dead. And that's the only way I'll stop: dead.
Charles Bukowski
I don't carry notebooks and I don't consciously store ideas. I try not to think that I am a writer and I am pretty good at doing that. I don't like writers, but then I don't like insurance salesmen either.
Charles Bukowski
The whole LSD, STP, marijuana, heroin, hashish, prescription cough medicine crowd suffers from the Watchtower itch: you gotta be with us, man, or you're out, you're dead. This pitch is a continual and seeming MUST with those who use the stuff. It's no wonder they keep getting busted.
Charles Bukowski
I wish to weep but sorrow is stupid. I wish to believe but belief is a graveyard.
Charles Bukowski
There's nothing unusual about love.
Charles Bukowski
The masses are always wrong...Wisdom is doing everything the crowd does not do. All you do is reverse the totality of their learning and you have the heaven they're looking for.
Charles Bukowski
I take much pleasure in being alone but there is also a strange warm grace in not being alone.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
my hands dead my heart dead silence adagio of rocks the world ablaze that's the best for me.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
There's a light somewhere. It may not be much light but it beats the darkness.
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
there is enough treachery, hatred violence absurdity in the average human being to supply any given army on any given day and the best at murder are those who preach against it and the best at hate are those who preach love and the best at war finally are those who preach peace
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
being alone never felt right. sometimes it felt good, but it never felt right.
Charles Bukowski
It's not the large things that send a man to the madhouse... no, it's the continuing series of small tragedies... not the death of his love but the shoelace that snaps with no time left.
Charles Bukowski
I knew it would be you
