Charles Bukowski
That's your response to everything: drink? No, that's my response to nothing.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
There's no way I can stop writing, it's a form of insanity.
Charles Bukowski
there is a loneliness in this world so great that you can see it in the slow movement of the hands of a clock
Charles Bukowski
My heart is a thousand years old. I am not like other people.
Charles Bukowski
I often stood in front of the mirror alone, wondering how ugly a person could get.
Charles Bukowski
Some men hope for revolution but when you revolt and set up your new government you find your new government is still the same old Papa, he has only put on a cardboard mask.
Charles Bukowski
they simply never understand, do they, that sometimes solitude is one of the most beautiful things on earth?
Charles Bukowski
I will put on my shoes and shirt and get out of here - it'll be better for all of us.
Charles Bukowski
