Charles Bukowski
and love was lightning and remembrance
Charles Bukowski
Dear child, I only did to you what the sparrow did to you I am old when it is fashionable to be young I cry when it is fashionable to laugh. I hated you when it would have taken less courage to love.

Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
I kept telling myself that all the women in the world weren´t whores, just mine.
Charles Bukowski
I went over to see Marina two or three or four times a week. I knew as long as I could see the girl I would be all right…. Soon after, I got a letter from Fay. She and the child were living in a hippie commune in New Mexico. It was a nice place, she said. Marina would be able to breathe there. She enclosed a little drawing the girl had made for me.
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
The secret is writing down one simple line after another.
Charles Bukowski
You can steal my women but don't play with my whiskey.
