Charles Bukowski
They never pay the slaves enough so they can get free, just enough so they can stay alive and come back to work.
Charles Bukowski
They, all of them, seemed to put literary form in front of the actuality and living of life itself.
Charles Bukowski
…He was always high on drugs. I was not a drug man, but in case I wanted to hide from myself for a few days, I knew I could get anything I wanted from him.
Charles Bukowski
all that I know is that I believe in the sound of music and the running of a horse. all else is squabble.
Charles Bukowski
There is nothing as boring as the truth.
Charles Bukowski
and getting dressed we talk about what else there might be to do, but being together solves most of it, in fact, solves all of it
Charles Bukowski
Boring damned people. All over the earth. Propagating more boring damned people. What a horror show. The earth swarmed with them.
Charles Bukowski
