and I laugh, I can still laugh, who can't laugh when the whole thing is so ridiculous that only the insane, the clowns, the half-wits, the cheaters, the whores, the horseplayers, the bankrobbers, the poets ... are interesting?

More quotes by Charles Bukowski
You don't go on probably when love and guns are in hand.
Charles Bukowski
Basically, that's why I wrote: to save my ass, to save my ass from the madhouse, from the streets, from myself.
Charles Bukowski
the sea is made of blood
Charles Bukowski
she’ mad but she’ magic. there’ no lie in her fire.
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
we know God is dead, they've told us, but listening to you I wasn't sure.
Charles Bukowski
and even the trees we walked under seemed less than trees and more like everything else.
Charles Bukowski
I don't think I'll travel anymore. Travel is nothing but an inconvenience. There is always enough trouble where you are.
Charles Bukowski
There's nothing else as pleasant as being unpleasant when there's nothing else to do, and there's usually nothing else to do.
Charles Bukowski
A spark can set a whole forest on fire. Just a spark. Save it.
Charles Bukowski
You can steal my women but don't play with my whiskey.
Charles Bukowski
There's nothing to mourn about death any more than there is to mourn about the growing of a flower. What is terrible is not death but the lives people live or don't live up until their death.
Charles Bukowski
I hope that death contains less than this.
Charles Bukowski
nobody can save you but yourself. you will be put again and again into nearly impossible situations. they will attempt again and again through subterfuge, guise and force to make you submit, quit and/or die quietly inside. nobody can save you but yourself
Charles Bukowski
The worst men have the best jobs the best men have the worst jobs or are unemployed or locked in madhouses.
Charles Bukowski
People don't need love. What they need is success in one form or another. It can be love but it needn't be.
Charles Bukowski
I knew I was strong, and maybe like they said, crazy. But I had this feeling inside of me that something real was there.
Charles Bukowski
Never bring a lot of money to where a poor man lives. He can only lose what little he has. On the other hand it is mathematically possible that he might win whatever you bring with you. What you must do, with money and the poor, is never let them get too close to one another.
Charles Bukowski
Your writing, she said to me, it's so raw. It's like a sledgehammer, and yet it has humor and tenderness. . . .
Charles Bukowski
A man needed somebody. There wasn't anybody around, so you had to make up somebody, make him up to be like a man should be. It wasn't make-believe or cheating. The other way was make-believe and cheating: living your life without a man like him around.
Charles Bukowski
