Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
Death is nothing, brother, it's life that's hard
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
bad writing's like bad women: there's just not much you can do about it
Charles Bukowski
So, that’s what they wanted: lies. Beautiful lies. That’s what they needed. People were fools. It was going to be easy for me.
Charles Bukowski
If you're losing your soul and you know it, then you've still got a soul left to lose.
Charles Bukowski
I write as a function. Without it I would fall ill and die. It's as much a part of one as the liver or intestine, and just about as glamorous.
Charles Bukowski
my 6 foot goddess makes me laugh the laughter of the mutilated who still need love... she has saved me from everything that is not here
Charles Bukowski
a good book can make an almost impossible existence, liveable ( from 'the luck of the word' )
Charles Bukowski
why don't we go back out there and tell them what happened? because nothing happened except that everybody has been driven insane and stupid by life. in this society there are only two things that count: don't be caught without money and don't get caught high on any kind of high. (Night Streets of Madness)
