Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
Meanwhile the 3 a.m. drunks of the world would lay in their beds, trying in vain to sleep, and deserving that rest, if they could find it.
Charles Bukowski
Pretty words, as pretty women, wrinkle up and die.
Charles Bukowski
Potential, I said, doesn't mean a thing. You've got to do it. Almost every baby in a crib has more potential than I have.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
you are yesterday's bouquet so sadly raided
Charles Bukowski
There still might be a place for us somewhere.
Charles Bukowski
Do you hate people? I don't hate them...I just feel better when they're not around.
Charles Bukowski
I can never drive my car over a bridge without thinking of suicide. I can never look at a lake or an ocean without thinking of suicide.
Charles Bukowski
But my whole life has been a matter of fighting for one simple hour to do what I want to do. There was always something getting in the way of my getting to myself.
Charles Bukowski
