We're all going to die, all of us, what a circus! That alone should make us love each other but it doesn't. We are terrorized and flattened by trivialities, we are eaten up by nothing.
Charles Bukowski
Don't ever write a novel unless it hurts like a hot turd coming out.
Charles Bukowski
That's the way it ends. The thin edge of the wedge.
Charles Bukowski
I just want a hot cup of coffee,black,and I don’t want to hear about your troubles.
Charles Bukowski
People need me. I fill them. If they can't see me for a while they get desperate, they get sick. But if I see them too often I get sick. It's hard to feed without getting fed.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
Sundays kill more people than bombs.
Charles Bukowski
I call 'em complaining machines. Things are never right with a guy to them. And man, when you throw that hysteria in there ... forget it. I gotta get out, get in the car, and go. Anywhere. Get a cup of coffee somewhere. Anywhere. Anything but another woman. I guess they're just built different, right?
Charles Bukowski
I wasn’t going anywhere and neither was the rest of the world. We were all just hanging around waiting to die and meanwhile doing little things to fill the space. Some of use weren’t even doing little things. We were vegetables.
Charles Bukowski
I can almost understand why people leap from bridges.
Charles Bukowski
True revolution comes from true revulsion when things get bad enough the kitten will kill the lion.
Charles Bukowski
I wasn’t lonely. I experienced no self-pity. I was just caught up in a life in which I could find no meaning.
Charles Bukowski
Find what you love and let it kill you.
Charles Bukowski
