More quotes by Charles Bukowski
In my next life I want to be a cat. To sleep 20 hours a day and wait to be fed. To sit around licking my ass.
Charles Bukowski
Sometimes there's luck, When there is you stock up on it and wait for the other times
Charles Bukowski
I was an Agnostic. Agnostics didn't have much to argue about.
Charles Bukowski
That's the problem with drinking, I thought, as I poured myself a drink. If something bad happens you drink in an attempt to forget if something good happens you drink in order to celebrate and if nothing happens you drink to make something happen.
Charles Bukowski
Do some living and get yourself a typewriter.
Charles Bukowski
If you're losing your soul and you know it, then you've still got a soul left to lose.
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
I had no Freedom. I had nothing.
Charles Bukowski
there's no defense except all the errors made
Charles Bukowski
I could read the great books but the great books don't interest me.
Charles Bukowski
I would be married, but I'd have no wife, I would be married to a single life.
Charles Bukowski
Most of the world was mad. And the part that wasn't mad was angry. And the part that wasn't mad or angry was just stupid. I had no chance. I had no choice. Just hang on and wait for the end. It was hard work. It was the hardest work imaginable.
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
Those who preach god, need god Those who preach peace do not have peace Those who preach love do not have love
Charles Bukowski
Long before I became 'rich and famous' I just sat round drinking wine and staring at the walls.
Charles Bukowski
We do not abandon ship. I say, as corny as it may sound, through the strength and spirit and fire and dare and gamble of a few men in a few ways we can save the carcass of humanity from drowning. No light goes out until it goes out. Let's fight as men, not rats. Period. No further addition.
Charles Bukowski
People in love often become edgy, dangerous. They lose their sense of perspective.
Charles Bukowski
You don't go on probably when love and guns are in hand.
Charles Bukowski
I would say that Mickey Mouse has a greater influence on the American public than Shakespeare, Milton, Dante, Rabelais, Shostakovitch, Lenin, and/or Van Gogh. Which says 'What?' about the American Public. Disneyland remains the central attraction of Southern California, but the graveyard remains our reality.
Charles Bukowski
Style is the answer to everything. A fresh way to approach a dull or dangerous thing. To do a dull thing with style is preferable to doing a dangerous thing without it. To do a dangerous thing with style is what I call art.
Charles Bukowski
