More quotes by Charles Bukowski
There is no hurry. Time means nothing to you.
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
some men never die and some men never live but we're all alive tonight.
Charles Bukowski
Slavery was never abolished, it was only extended to include all the colors.
Charles Bukowski
I took no pride in my solitude but I was dependent on it. The darkness of the room was like sunlight to me.
Charles Bukowski
Love is a form of prejudice. I have too many other prejudices.
Charles Bukowski
We are hardly ever as strong as that which we create.
Charles Bukowski
the tired sunsets and the tired people - it takes a lifetime to die and no time at all.
Charles Bukowski
Style means no shield at all. Style means no front at all. Style means ultimate naturalness. Style means one man alone with billions of men about.
Charles Bukowski
Belane, are you nuts? Who knows? Insanity is comparative. Who sets the norm?
Charles Bukowski
There is nothing as boring as the truth.
Charles Bukowski
I hope that death contains less than this.
Charles Bukowski
human relationships simply aren't durable. I think back to the women in my life. they seem non-existent.
Charles Bukowski
Human relationships are strange. I mean, you are with one person a while, eating and sleeping and living with them, loving them, talking to them, going places together, and then it stops.
Charles Bukowski
well, death says, as he walks by, I'm going to get you anyhow no matter what you've been: writer, cab-driver, pimp, butcher, sky-diver, I'm going to get you
Charles Bukowski
Love is a form of prejudice. You love what you need, you love what makes you feel good, you love what is convenient. How can you say you love one person when there are ten thousand people in the world that you would love more if you ever met them? But you'll never meet them.
Charles Bukowski
I was only photographing in words the reality of it all.
Charles Bukowski
There's a small balcony here, the door is open and I can see the lights of the cars on the Harbor Freeway south, they never stop, that roll of lights, on and on. All those people. What are they doing? What are they thinking? We're all going to die, all of us, what a circus! That alone should make us love each other but it doesn't.
Charles Bukowski
But then if you lied to a man about his talent just because he was sitting across from you, that was the most unforgivable lie of them all, because that was telling him to go on, to continue which was the worst way for a man without real talent to waste his life, finally. But many people did just that, friends and relatives mostly.
Charles Bukowski
morning night and noon the traffic moves through and the murder and treachery of friends and lovers and all the people move through you. pain is the joy of knowing the unkindest truth that arrives without warning. life is being alone death is being alone. even the fools weep morning night and noon.
Charles Bukowski
