Fay had a spot of blood on the left side of her mouth and I took a wet cloth and wiped it off. Women were meant to suffer no wonder they asked for constant declarations of love.
Charles Bukowski
If I stop writing I am dead. And that's the only way I'll stop: dead.
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
Most people are much better at saying things in letters than in conversation, and some people can write artistic, inventive letters, but when they try a poem or story or novel they become pretentious.
Charles Bukowski
Only the boring get bored
Charles Bukowski
In my next life I want to be a cat. To sleep 20 hours a day and wait to be fed. To sit around licking my ass.
Charles Bukowski
Figuring the average poet starts at 16, I am 23.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
You can steal my women but don't play with my whiskey.
Charles Bukowski
Getting drunk was good. I decided that I would always like getting drunk. It took away the obvious and maybe if you could get away from the obvious often enough, you wouldn't become so obvious yourself.
Charles Bukowski
I don’t understand people, never will. It looks like I got to travel pretty much alone.
Charles Bukowski
It’s never quite right, all the things we are taught, all the loves we chase, all the deaths we die, all the lives we live.
Charles Bukowski
I was young I was so young it hurt like a knife inside because there was no alternative except to hide as long as possible--- not in self-pity but with dismay at my limited chance: trying to connect.
Charles Bukowski
and love was lightning and remembrance
Charles Bukowski
one can never be sure whether it's good poetry or bad acid
Charles Bukowski
The night kept coming on in and there was nothing I could do.
Charles Bukowski
Once in a dream I saw a snake swallowing its own tail, it swallowed and swallowed until it got halfway round, and there it stopped and there it stayed, it was stuffed with its own self. Some fix, that. We only have ourselves to go on, and it's enough.
Charles Bukowski
It's just that the grape has me down.
Charles Bukowski
